What happened: PSG manager Luis Enrique reiterated a claim he first made during the Champions League group stage, telling reporters 'no team is better than us' ahead of the UCL final. Speaking via Fabrizio Romano, the Spaniard said he would repeat the line and that he believes in his team. The remark comes as PSG prepare to face Arsenal in Budapest.

Why it matters: The comments echo earlier statements where Luis Enrique stood by the same group-stage boast, framing PSG's mindset on the eve of the biggest match of their season. Pairing the bravado with his separate '125% motivation' line signals a coach trying to lock in confidence rather than temper expectations. For a club chasing its first Champions League title, the messaging carries weight with players and the alike.

What to watch: Watch for Arsenal's response and whether Mikel Arteta engages with the rhetoric before kickoff. Team news and any late fitness updates from PSG camp are the next markers.
