Paris Saint-Germain faced Arsenal this Saturday at the Puskas Arena in the 2026 Champions League final (1-1, 3-4 on penalties). Before the match, Luis Enrique, the club’s manager, spoke to PSG TV about the game.
Luis Enrique: “It’s time to celebrate with our fans.”
“It’s even more special because we knew before the match how difficult it would be to play against Arsenal. For us, as a team, as a city, it’s incredible to win so deservedly throughout the season. The final was very hard-fought. But it’s time to celebrate with our fans.”
A historic result for PSG, who secured their second Champions League title and cemented their place in the legend of French and European football. After a tight, disjointed, and unspectacular match, PSG managed to take the lead in the final moments of the penalty shootout.
After Arsenal’s first-half goal, it was difficult to imagine this Parisian team finding a way through such a compact defense. By raising their level of play and increasing the intensity of the match, the Parisians finally managed to equalize in the second half.
It wasn’t the most spectacular match of the season, but the end result is there, and PSG have achieved a back-to-back title. Now firmly etched in the history of European football, the Parisians can savor this new trophy, won through sheer effort and determination.
