After a 3-1 aggregate win over Arsenal in both legs, PSG have booked their place in the Champions League final for the second time. Hakimi, one of the players who scored against Arsenal in the second leg on the morning of May 8, praised coach Enrique.

"He did a fantastic job. Luis built this team and worked hard behind the scenes. He's a genius," Hakimi said.

Agreeing with Hakimi, midfielder Joao Neves said: "No player is perfect, everyone has things to improve. He is the one who points out what we have to do better."

In the 2023/24 season, Enrique and PSG suffered defeat when they were eliminated by Dortmund in the Champions League semi-finals. Last summer, the Ligue 1 team also lost their main striker Kylian Mbappe. Public opinion excluded PSG from the group of clubs with a chance to win the Champions League.

In the early stages of the season, an important meeting involving President Nasser Al Khelaifi and Sporting Director Luis Campos helped PSG regain momentum.

"We had some difficult games and no goals. I don't remember the exact moment, but there was a conversation with the players when the Champions League results were bad," Enrique said. He stressed that PSG were still one of the strongest teams in Europe and encouraged the players not to be discouraged.

Enrique began to make drastic changes, threatening to "leave the club if the players could not maintain good morale in every training session". In addition to building a competitive spirit, Enrique also helped his students gradually adapt to diverse tactics, ready for opponents with different playing styles in France and Europe.

Small changes over the years have helped shape the PSG of today. Enrique's side are on the verge of becoming the first Ligue 1 team to win the treble. The Parc des Princes side have already won the Ligue 1 title and are set to play in the Coupe de France final against Reims on May 25.
