"“I spoke to the president Nasser [Al-Khelaifi] at PSG and he said for the first year of Luis Enrique going, he virtually slept every night at the new training facility, working on how he wants the team to look, how he wants the team to play, who he wants, where are we going to go, what the future looks like.”"
"“His work ethic and what he wants from his team, he wants them all on a level par, all to want the same thing, bringing these young players through. But he also wants players that are just going to run and not stop and that is what he has got, that is what he has built.”"
"“That's how Luis Enrique has built them for the last few years and he has built this team that are so together.”"
Luis Enrique led PSG to a second consecutive Champions League final, winning 6-5 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. PSG aims to win back-to-back Champions League titles, a feat last achieved by Real Madrid from 2016 to 2019. Luis Enrique took charge in 2023 as PSG moved away from the “Galactico” model after Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe left. David Beckham described Luis Enrique’s dedication, saying he spent his first year effectively living at the new training facility to define how the team should look and play. Beckham added that Luis Enrique demanded consistent levels, shared goals, and relentless running, while integrating young talent. PSG also plans to defend its Ligue 1 title and faces Arsenal in Budapest on May 30.
