European champions PSG will play in their second consecutive Champions League final after knocking out Bayern (1-1 / 5-4 in the round).
For French football, PSG's performance is a first. And in Europe, only Real Madrid managed to do something like that, in the period 2016 – 2018, when they won 3 consecutive trophies. Boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi does not deny the merits of the players, but believes that everything is primarily due to coach Luis Enrique.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi believes PSG and Luis Enrique have the DNA to make history
“Luis Enrique is really our biggest asset, the best, my best decision. I have been talking to him for the last 15 years about the transfer to PSG. He is a fantastic coach, the best coach in the world, but also as a person.
It's incredible how he manages everyday life, the players, everything, even the relationship with the press, which in France is not always easy, but it's fantastic,” said the PSG president on CBS Sports' “Golazo.”
Al-Khelaifi believes that “it is an honor to have Luis Enrique at the club and all those who are now making history. And that is what we want. We have the necessary DNAand today I demonstrated it. They are not just footballers, they are true warriors”.

Then he hugged the Spanish technician, who had just appeared in the camera area, making him a declaration of love: “He revolutionized football, not just at Paris Saint-Germain, but all football. I am very proud of him and he is rightfully the best coach in the world.”
Finally, Al-Khelaifi allowed himself a prediction: “We could win the Ballon d'Or in the next three, four or five years with different players. This is another plan of ours”.
