While PSG is preparing to face Tottenham in Super Cup in Udine, Luis Enrique returns to the deep impact of the past season, marked by intense emotions, both on the field as in the stands. He entrusts the UEFA site how much the support of Parisian fans, their gestures of affection and this communion touched his family and himself, offering everyone a moment of escape and happiness at the heart of the trials: “Even today, when we walk in Paris, people thank you. They thank you and hug you. I think this is one of the things I appreciate, as a man of a certain age, with a player and coach experience. Being able to meet people whom you do not know at all, who, I am sure, have very complicated lives, but who, during these moments or this year, were able to be happier and happy, were able to have fun, were able to overcome their problems. It is a moment that has now entered history: beautiful memories, beautiful images, many moments, and a lot of suffering, which, in the end, makes you appreciate things. When you have suffered, you cherish these moments of happiness, and in this sense, I think it was the perfect season».
“”I was worried two weeks before the match, when we played the final of the Coupe de France, before the UEFA Champions League final. My staff and I had only one thing in mind, it was to approach the match by being relaxed, so as not to be exceeded by the context or by the stake of the meeting, because we were surrounded – as we would expect – supporters who wanted to support us, give us energy. When there is too much something, it's a bad sign. We already knew that we were going to give more than 100 %, and it's bad. But I remember saying to the players: “We will try to be 105 %, not at 120 %, because this type of match ends up inhibiting you”. These are special matches in which the tension can overwhelm you, and I think that in this regard, the players were sensational to manage this tension. The approach of this match was exceptional from the whole team».
