According to reports, the Spanish coach said after the match: “I think Paris Saint-Germain deserves to win the Champions League because of all the effort they’ve put in, and the fans have deserved it for a long time. We will continue to strive this year and in the coming years.”

He added: “Those who don’t give their maximum effort won’t play. Everyone has their responsibility, whether it’s an 18-year-old player or a 30-year-old veteran.”

Enrique said: “I feel very comfortable because, with the collaboration of Luis Campos and the club president, I have the ability to build a team that makes the fans happy.”

Marquinhos analyzed Luis Enrique’s philosophy at PSG: “Those who don’t give their maximum effort won’t play.” Marquinhos, the Brazilian defender who has been at PSG since 2013, explained the keys to Enrique’s philosophy that has brought success to the Parisian club.

He told Monica Marchante: “The coach has a philosophy that involves a lot of running, pressing, defending, and attacking from all players.”

The Brazilian player emphasized: “Everyone on the field has their responsibility, whether they’re 18 or 30 years old like me. Everyone has a very clear role and must give their maximum effort.”

Marquinhos added: “Those who don’t give their maximum effort won’t play,” and stressed: “This is the coach’s philosophy, and it’s what has brought us to this level.”

The Brazilian player’s statements confirm Luis Enrique’s words from weeks ago: “I never said I don’t want stars, but I want a team full of good players.”

Enrique said at the start of the season about his vision for PSG: “We don’t want players who come just to do us a favor. It should be the opposite—we want ambitious players who want to join a unique club like Paris Saint-Germain, a unique city, and a unique country, and who want to write their names in the club’s history.”

Achraf Hakimi: “Luis Enrique has done an incredible job at Paris Saint-Germain. He is a genius.” Hakimi, the Madrid-born player who scored a goal and was named Man of the Match in the second leg as PSG defeated Arsenal 2-1, said: “Reaching the Champions League final is a huge honor. We worked hard and deserve this. Now it’s time to celebrate.”

He continued: “Seeing this incredible atmosphere is amazing. We worked very hard to experience this moment. Many didn’t believe in us, but we didn’t give up. We are a family and deserve this moment—all the fans, Parisians, our families, and everyone who supported us. We are proud of this game.”

Hakimi also praised Luis Enrique: “Luis Enrique has done an incredible job. Since he arrived at Paris Saint-Germain, he has built an amazing team in one year. He has worked very hard to achieve this success. He is a genius.”
