Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique said no European side is currently better than his team as they prepare for the Champions League final.
This assertion comes as PSG attempts to establish a lasting dynasty in European football. By securing a second successive final appearance [3], the club is moving from being a perennial contender to a dominant force capable of defending its crown.
Enrique has focused on refining the squad's tactics and player management to create a more versatile side. He said these improvements led to the team's current trajectory, stating that the squad has become a more complete team under his guidance [2]. This tactical evolution has allowed PSG to maintain a level of control that has defined their recent campaigns.
The club is now aiming for back-to-back Champions League titles [1]. This goal follows a period where PSG has been regarded as Europe's best team for two years [3]. The pursuit of a second consecutive trophy would cement Enrique's influence on the club's identity, and its standing among the global elite.
Enrique's confidence was evident during the team's recent high-stakes encounters, including the Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich in Germany. His approach combines aggressive recruitment with strict tactical discipline—a strategy that has transformed the team into what some describe as a steamroller.
Despite the pressure of the upcoming final, Enrique remains steadfast in his assessment of the team's superiority. "Nobody is better than us," he said [4].
“"Nobody is better than us."”
PSG's transition from a collection of stars to a tactically disciplined unit under Luis Enrique signals a shift in the European power balance. By prioritizing systemic control over individual brilliance, the club is attempting to move past its history of early exits to build a sustainable era of dominance similar to the great dynasties of the sport.
