The Champions League trophy is up for grabs in Saturday’s final in Budapest, but for Paris Saint-Germain and Luis Enrique, the stakes go far beyond silverware.
Facing Arsenal, the defending champions and their serial-winning Spanish coach have a chance to strengthen their case as one of the defining teams of this era.
“I arrived at the club thinking, ‘My objective is to make history,’ and we have indeed made history,” Luis Enrique said. “We want to keep writing the story because we believe there’s still more there for us to achieve.”
PSG is already part of the conversation about the best sides of the Champions League era, yet only results on nights like this tend to settle such debates.
Victory at the Estadio Metropolitano in Budapest would make PSG only the second team to retain the trophy since the competition was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992.
