What happened: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi told reporters that Luis Enrique has 'sparked a revolution in football, not just for Paris but for football as a whole,' calling him 'the best coach in the world.' The remarks, relayed by Fabrizio Romano, come as Paris Saint-Germain prepare for the Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest. They extend a week of public endorsements from the club's hierarchy.

Why it matters: The timing matters: Al-Khelaifi's repeated praise signals PSG's ownership is fully aligned with the manager heading into the biggest match of the season. With PSG chasing a second Champions League crown, the public backing eases speculation about Luis Enrique's contract status and tightens the club's narrative ahead of kickoff. It also frames the final as validation of a project rather than a one-off cup run.

What to watch: Watch for Luis Enrique's own pre-match comments and any contract-extension reporting before the UCL final against Arsenal in Budapest. Team news and Allianz Arena training updates will follow.
