What happened
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi praised his squad after the club booked a place in the Champions League final, declaring "we have warriors, not football players" and calling Luis Enrique "the best coach in the world." Al-Khelaifi said the club's dream is to lift a second UEFA Champions League trophy. The comments followed PSG's semi-final victory that set up a Budapest showdown with Arsenal.
Why it matters
The remarks frame PSG's mentality entering their second consecutive Champions League final, a stage the Qatari ownership has chased since taking over in 2011. A second European crown would cement the post-superstar rebuild under Luis Enrique as a structural success rather than a one-off. It also sharpens the narrative against Arsenal in the Budapest final, who reach their first Champions League final.
What to watch
Watch for Luis Enrique's rotation choices in PSG's remaining Ligue 1 fixtures before the final. Arsenal's preparation and any late injury news from either camp will shape pre-match betting markets.
