Luis Enrique Reveals Hidden Drive Behind PSG’s Quest to Outshine Last Season—What’s Fuelling Their Fire?
Last season was nothing short of extraordinary for Paris Saint-Germain, as Luis Enrique’s squad clinched that elusive Champions League crown with a jaw-dropping 5-0 rout of Inter in the final. They didn’t just stop there—adding the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, and the Trophee des Champions to their glittering trophy haul. But hey, the journey’s far from over. Despite a stumble against Chelsea in the expanded Club World Cup, there’s that burning desire to sharpen their edge and etch their name even deeper into the annals of football lore. Facing off with Tottenham in the Super Cup this Wednesday in Udine, Enrique’s men are gearing up for a new chapter of glory—and trust me, the motivation is sky-high to not just repeat history, but to do so with style and substance. The challenge? It’s real. Progress won’t be handed on a silver platter, yet the hunger remains fierce—aiming for improvements both in attack and defense, ready to take it up a notch in all competitions ahead.
Luis Enrique says Paris Saint-Germain have “special motivation” to go “down in history in true style” by repeating their exploits of last season.
PSG achieved the holy grail last term by finally getting their hands on the Champions League trophy following an emphatic 5-0 victory over Inter in the final.
It was one of four pieces of silverware collected by Luis Enrique’s side, who cruised to another Ligue 1 title and added the Coupe de France and Trophee des Champions along the way.
PSG missed out on adding the expanded Club World Cup to their collection last month, as they were beaten 3-0 by a Cole Palmer-inspired Chelsea.
However, they will look to make amends in the Super Cup on Wednesday when they go head to head with Europa League winners Tottenham in Udine.

Despite their exploits, Luis Enrique wants his squad to get even better, though he knows it will not be an easy task.
“The aim for this upcoming season is to improve,” he told UEFA.com. “In terms of titles, it’s going to be harder because there are more to play for. We want to be ready to go for all of them.
“But in footballing terms, I think we’ll improve as a team, both in attack and defence. I believe we can still identify phases of the game to get better in.
“Of course, we all believe that we can win all of them and repeat this feat again this year, which would mean going down in history in true style, and that gives us special motivation.”
