Paris Saint-Germain faced Aston Villa this Wednesday in the European Super Cup and won 2-1. After the match, Luis Enrique, the capital club’s manager, spoke to PSG TV to discuss the victory.
Luis Enrique: “All the players are connected, and that is very important.”
“It was a difficult match to prepare for. The players need rest and time with their families. But whenever they put on the Paris Saint-Germain jersey, there is that connection with the fans and among the players themselves. What we demonstrated again today is that, despite some errors and areas still needing improvement, we remain the team we have always been.
We always talk about the players who start the match, but being ready to come off the bench is crucial, especially in games like this. All the players are connected, and that is vital, because to win major honors, you need everyone pulling together.”
Following their back-to-back Champions League victories, PSG has now secured a second European Super Cup in as many years. Once again, the Parisians are making history—both for the club and for French football. While just two years ago the club had only a single Champions League title to its name, PSG has now brought home four trophies from Europe’s two most prestigious competitions.
This also sets the tone for the upcoming season. Despite a small squad and limited preparation, PSG managed to clinch a trophy at the end of an intense, hard-fought match. Luis Enrique’s men are well and truly back. Fans can already savor this start to the season and look forward to dreaming of further achievements in the months ahead.
