PSG can ‘go down in history’ with Champions League win

PSG boss Luis Enrique says his players can ‘go down in history’ by winning the Champions League for the first time this weekend.

Paris Saint-Germain take on Inter Milan at Munich’s Allianz Arena on Saturday evening with European club football’s biggest prize at stake.

PSG reached the final in 2020, losing to Bayern Munich, but despite their dominance at home in the last 15 years their only European title is the Cup Winners’ Cup win in 1996.

Enrique said: “There’s only one match left. There are only two teams left in the Champions League, Inter and us.

“Inter is a more experienced team than us. There’s no doubt they deserve to be Champions League finalists, and I think we can be proud of what we’ve achieved.

“But we need to finish the job because our aim is to go down in history.”

Enrique’s side needed to win their final three league phase matches against RB Salzburg, Manchester City and Stuttgart to book a last-16 play-off against Brest, and then edged past Premier League sides Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to make it to Munich.

Enrique said: “If we analyse everything that’s happened in the Champions League this season, it would make a great thriller or horror film or even a very good series because there’s been a bit of everything from the very first home game against Girona, when we would have deserved to win before the 90th minute and by taking advantage of an error by our opponents.

“We deserved better results in every game in the league phase, especially at home, but we didn’t get them.

“Then for the last three matches of the league phase, we had only four points – four points – and we were more out than in. If you don’t score goals, you don’t win games.”
