Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique insisted his team are not favourites to defend their crown in Saturday’s Champions League final clash against Arsenal.

The Ligue 1 champions are a thrilling attacking force with more goals than any other team in the competition with 44, while opponents Arsenal have conceded six, the fewest of any side.

In last season’s final PSG waltzed to a 5-0 win over Inter Milan to claim the trophy for the first time but Luis Enrique said finals tend to be close affairs and that match was the exception that proves the rule.
