Even if Paris Saint-Germain had already reached the semi-finals of the Champions League three times under QSI before this season, its 2024-2025 campaign marks more spirits than the others. The club of the capital amazes observers, notably Emmanuel Petit, by his formidable collective game.

“For once, in Paris Saint-Germain, since the departure of all the stars which were well above the collective, we have a football team with a soul. We have no egos, players who fart it, who tell it. I am not a fan of PSG at the base, but I am starting to like this team for all these reasons ”, realized the sports consultant in “the After Foot” on Tuesday evening.

Regarding Luis Enrique, the 1998 world champion even changed his mind. “I'm starting to love him, he confesses. I was his partner at FC Barcelona. Frankly, I couldn't supervise it. For some time in PSG, it has smiled, it has been pleasant. »»

Emmanuel little ready to bury the ax of war with Luis Enrique

Last October, Emmanuel Petit had declared on RMC to have “Want to put a pie”
to the coach of the capital's club. It followed the contemptuous behavior adopted by the Spanish technician towards Margot Dumont, after the defeat of PSG against Arsenal (2-0) during the league phase of the Champions League.

The resentment of Emmanuel Petit towards Luis Enrique dates back almost a quarter of a century. The two men, who are the same age (54), played FC Barcelona together during the 2000-2001 season. At the time, the Frenchman had almost come to his hands with Spanish.
