Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has made it to the Champions League final after overcoming various obstacles during their season. Recently, they defeated Arsenal 2-1 to secure their spot in the finals against Inter, set for May 31. Initially, PSG faced challenges in the League Phase, barely qualifying for the knockout stage. The team’s dynamics shifted positively with the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia during the January transfer window, helping strengthen their performance.

Trusting Luis Enrique

Manager Luis Enrique plays a pivotal role in the team’s progress. Known for his success with Barcelona and the Spanish national team, Enrique has brought a visually appealing style of soccer to PSG. His ability to guide young talent like Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz allows the team to maintain a fluid and flexible gameplay, even when the situation changes.

The calmness Luis shows during high-pressure matches reflects on his players, letting them remain composed, even when faced with adversity.

Adjusting After Mbappe

The departure of star player Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid brought significant shifts in PSG’s game strategy. Despite the initial void left by Mbappe, the squad has adapted well by utilizing a more collective attack approach rather than relying solely on individual brilliance.

Youthful Energy

PSG’s recent signings are all under 23, bringing both skill and vigor to the team. This young roster, guided by Enrique, has formed a new identity, marked by hard work and commitment—even pressing on during late minutes of the game. As the youngest ever team in a Champions League final, PSG is making history.
