Arrived at Paris Saint-Germain at the beginning of the summer of 2023, Luis Enrique is about to be the first coach to win the Champions League at the Capital Club. For a year and a half, the Spanish technician was however not spared from criticism.
Among its main antagonists is Christophe Dugarry. “I say it from the start. He has such a boulard that he believes that no one can understand it and be up to him. He was clear, clear and precise, he hates journalists. We must stop thinking that he will tell the truth. He's a swapker ”, Judged the sports consultant, last December, on RMC.
An incendiary exit which is far from isolated. Because the former striker did not wait for Luis Enrique to be named PSG coach to hate him. Indeed, the two men were teammates in the Barça jersey in the past. It was during the first part of the 1997-1998 season, during which the French striker had spent a few months among the Blaugrana.

Luis Enrique still remembers this delicate period for the tricolor international. “We shared the same locker room for a season and I have never seen such a clumsy attacker. Once, in training, he pulled five penalty and did not frame only one ”, had revealed by laughing the native of Gijón, in March 2024, during a live Twitch.
