Recommended Network May 31: Luis Enrique is looking forward to the Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final to realize their dream

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is about to usher in their second European final journey. On May 31, they will play Inter Milan at the Allianz Stadium, striving to make up for the regret of losing to Bayern Munich in 2020.

Since Qatar Sports Investment Corporation (QSI) acquired a majority stake in Paris Saint-Germain in 2011, winning the Champions League has been their ultimate goal. However, Louis Enrique's team was once in a difficult situation in the group stage, losing three of four games and almost got eliminated in the group stage. But in January this year, they beat Manchester City 4-2, which injected strong momentum into the team, before they beat Brest, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the knockout round, and finally advanced to the finals with a 28-win record in 34 games in 2025.

Luis Enrique led Barcelona to the Champions League title ten years ago, and this time he hopes to win the cup again. At the pre-match press conference, Enrique said: "What I'm trying to convey to the players is that we've been having a very tough journey. We've been playing at a high level since the Champions League. A tough start may be our advantage now because we're used to the intensity of the game. We used to play at home in Munich, which is a top European team, and we've been through the finals. We're ready, we've never been afraid of this season and we'll be on the court at the best tomorrow. I've accumulated more than in the past. With so much experience, I try to pass on the importance of participating in the Champions League final and the opportunity to create history to my team and players. Making history at a club like Paris Saint-Germain means doing something that no one has done before, which is very important and we must be cautious and not be crushed by it. I am very satisfied with the team's training form and Inter Milan is not afraid of it. It will be a wonderful final and we are eager to win."

Paris Saint-Germain captain Marquinhos has experienced it personally A loss against Bayern in 2020 under the restrictions of the epidemic. He plays alongside superstars such as Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, but he says he loves his current team more. He said: "I played for many years at Paris Saint-Germain, but we really enjoy training and playing together now. You can see us running together on the court, understanding each other, and it has a positive impact on our good results. I love this team, love every moment we are on the court, and I feel very honored to be one of them. Tomorrow is a great opportunity to make history for our club and all the players. For me, this is my second time in the Champions League final and I will never miss this opportunity."

Ousmane Dembele has performed well this season, scoring 33 goals and becoming one of the popular candidates for the Ballon d'Or, but he doesn't value it. Dembele said: "As a Paris Saint-Germain player, the most important thing is to win the Champions League. I focus on the team, not on personal honors. Since January this year, we have changed our mindset and we will continue to stay that way and go all the way."
