Luis Enrique launched a joke on the “Farm League” after conducting PSG in victory against four Premier League teams en route to the 2025 Champions League final.

Paris Saint-Germain will face Inter on May 31 with a major European trophy at stake. Ile-de-France players have already won another Ligue 1 title this season, and a hat-trick is in sight after also winning a ticket for the Final of the French Cup.

In continental competition, the Luis Enrique team won a 3-1 victory over all of the two games against Arsenal in the semi-finals, winning 2-1 in the return match at the Parc des Princes, thus ridicuing those who quickly put the French elite on the touch of over the years.

Luis Enrique told TNT Sports after demonstrating that his team had now beaten Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa: “The farmers' league, right? We are the farmers' league. But it's nice. We savor the result and the compliments of all those who talk about our team, our mentality, our way of playing. It's nice. »»

“Mikel Arteta is a great friend, but I don't agree at all (with the fact that Arsenal deserved to win). They play as they wish and like to play, but during the two matches, we scored more goals than them, and that is the most important. Arsenal has made a big match and we have suffered a lot, but we deserve to reach the final. ”

“An interesting final”

Luis Enrique, who led Barcelona to the title in the Champions League in 2015, added to the challenge that awaits PSG ten years after this success, in search of his first European title: “ Inter has more experience than we, older players, but we want to win trophies and we will have this state of mind for the final.

“It will be difficult, but they will play the same final. An interesting finish, very difficult for both teams. A special moment for us and for them too. It's their second final in three years, so it's a big team. We have time to prepare, but it's time to celebrate. »»
