This Saturday at 9 p.m. (CET), Paris Saint-Germain (5th) will face Tottenham (10th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 5 of the 2025-2026 Champions League. In a press conference, English coach Thomas Frank spoke about the upcoming match and their Parisian opponent.
Frank: “He created one of the best teams in the world that way.”
“Certainly, Paris has been playing at a different level than Tottenham for the last five or six years. But Luis Enrique has only been there for three years. And in his first season, he had to establish a framework.
At the time, he also transitioned from a team with the best players in Europe to a squad with fewer stars and more players committed to playing for the team. By making these changes, he created one of the best teams in the world. And last season, he managed to win the treble.”
Undeniably, PSG is currently the best team in Europe and the world. Even though the start of the season has been a bit more difficult, particularly due to the number of injuries, they remain highly competitive, especially on the European stage.
The road to get here has been long, but by changing their strategy, PSG has managed to build a team capable of performing at the highest level. This year, their ambitions remain the same, and the Parisian club doesn’t want to settle for just one Champions League title. This will obviously require qualifying for the knockout stages, and they can put a strong foothold in that position this Wednesday against Tottenham.
