What happened: Luis Enrique said he watched a video of Dayot Upamecano and Ousmane Dembele embracing after PSG's Champions League semifinal in Munich. In comments shared by Fabrizio Romano, the PSG coach said the moment mattered because it showed there are "no real losers" in football and that losing is a normal part of life.

Why it matters: The quote adds a sportsmanship angle to PSG's post-semifinal message after eliminating Bayern Munich and reaching another European final. It also fits the tone Luis Enrique has struck around PSG's collective discipline and composure as PSG prepare for the Champions League final against Arsenal.

By the numbers: Match context: Bayern Munich 1-1 Paris Saint-Germain on May 6, 2026; aggregate score: PSG 6-5 Bayern Munich. Confirmed scorers in the second leg: Ousmane Dembele (3') and Harry Kane (90+4'). Confirmed next major fixture: PSG vs Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30 in Budapest.

What to watch: Watch whether Luis Enrique continues to frame PSG's run around control and collective mentality in the final buildup. Bayern's response after the semifinal exit will also stay in focus as reaction to the tie continues.
