On the eve of this meeting, Luis Enrique was present on Saturday against the press. The opportunity for him to evoke his ambitions for the exercise 2025-2026.

And the Parisian coach clearly announced that he intended to do everything to keep another trophy acquired last season: that of the Champions League. Winner of the first C1 of its history on May 31 after a brilliant victory in the final against Inter Milan (5-0), PSG wants its “back-to-back”.

“Continue to mark history is the first objective of the first day when I arrivedfirst indicated Luis Enrique in remarks relayed by RMC. Right now we do it, but it's very difficult to see a team win the C1 twice. This is our goal. We are very ambitious. »»

The Spanish tactician does not veil his face and knows very well that the mission will be perilous. “We know that it will be difficult, but it's normal to have this mentality. Everything will depend on us and our level. It is a very funny goal. »» And even very exciting for Luis Enrique who has never managed to keep this title so prestigious two years in a row. Ten years ago (2015), he won the C1 with FC Barcelona but in 2016, his team had been released in the quarter-finals by Atlético de Madrid (2-1, 0-2).

The new season therefore begins on Sunday for Paris Saint-Germain. Not satisfied, the capital's club intends to do everything to achieve its objectives, however high they are. It remains to be seen if there will be enough fuel in the engine after a very short summer.
