What happened: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi praised his squad after their Champions League semifinal victory, calling them "warriors, not football players" and labeling Luis Enrique "the best coach in the world." Al-Khelaifi declared the club's dream is to win a second UEFA Champions League title. The remarks followed PSG's run to a second straight Champions League final, where they will face Arsenal in Budapest.
Why it matters: PSG have never won back-to-back Champions League finals before this run, and Al-Khelaifi's framing signals the club's belief that this is their moment to convert. The "warriors" line plays into Luis Enrique's identity-driven rebuild, which has replaced the galactico-era PSG with a younger, more cohesive group. A second European crown would cement the project and validate the post-Mbappe direction.
What to watch: PSG meet Arsenal in the Champions League final in Budapest later this month. Watch for Luis Enrique's team selection and any fitness updates on key players in the lead-up.
