On November 26, Paris Saint-Germain bowed against Bayern Munich (1-0) on the fifth day of the Champions League league. The capital's club was then badly engaged in this competition, appearing to a worrying 25th place in the ranking, with four points.

A few moments after this defeat at Allianz Arena, Daniel Riolo was particularly virulent towards Luis Enrique.
“This guy will end up wringing out PSG, he is exhausting. There will be a fracture between supporters because of him. No one experiences emotion towards this PSG, apart from those who are 'gurred' in the Luis Enrique sect “, had judged the sports journalist on RMC.

Gilbert Brisbois' acolyte had not stopped on such a good path, predicting the worst for the red and blue: “He takes himself for a great intellectual superior to everyone. The players love it because they feel valued. Except that as soon as you play a somewhat square team, it's over, you shatter ”.

Luis Enrique, Riolo had everything wrong

Less than six months later, the comments made by Daniel Riolo can smile. Even if it is true that at the time, the game practiced by PSG could frighten the most optimistic observers. Since then, water has flowed under the bridges and companion of Géraldine Maillet has tempered his opinion on the former coach of La Roja.

Now, the reigning French champion has been about to achieve the biggest season in its history since its creation in 1970. On May 31, a victory in the Champions League final, against Inter Milan in Munich, would make Luis Enrique the best coach of PSG, all epochs combined.
