Luis Enrique in a dream after PSG's Champions League triumph

Luis Enrique described his feelings after Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory as being "in a dream." The coach, who has now won the trophy three times, appeared radiant after his team's penalty shootout win against Arsenal in Budapest.

“

I feel positive emotions. I am in a dream. I am very happy.

"I feel positive emotions. I am in a dream. I am very happy," Enrique told reporters. He specifically highlighted the difficult decision to leave Warren Zaïre-Emery on the bench, calling it "very unfair" to the young player who "deserved to play this final." Enrique praised Zaïre-Emery's professionalism in accepting the decision.

“

We were very unfair to Warren (Zaire-Emery), because he deserved to play this final. He showed his personality, he accepted my decision, but it was very unfair.

The coach acknowledged Arsenal's strong defensive performance, noting that the opponent's early goal created a "perfect plan for them." He admitted that PSG struggled to find space against Arsenal's well-organized low block. "This back-to-back is important and we are proud. It's time to celebrate," he added.

“

We played a very high-level final against a great opponent who scored quickly and it was a perfect plan for them.

Looking ahead, Enrique stated that the focus is on vacation and national team duties for the players, with time later to prepare for a potential "back-to-back-to-back" title defense, referencing a comment by sporting director Luis Campos. Regarding the transfer market, he indicated a desire to maintain the current strategy, seeking only a few players capable of improving the squad, emphasizing that there is no urgency as they are "double European champions."
