Luis Enrique Mocks Premier League After PSG Advances to Champions League Final

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reached the Champions League final after defeating Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in the semifinals. The win highlights PSG’s dominance over Premier League clubs throughout this campaign.

Luis Enrique Fires Shot at Premier League Critics

After the match, Luis Enrique, who led PSG to only their second Champions League final in history, made a pointed remark to those who mock the French league.

“The farmers league, right? We are indeed the farmers league,” he told TNT Sports, sarcastically referencing the frequent belittling of Ligue 1.

Praise for Donnarumma and the Road to the Final

Luis Enrique praised Gianluigi Donnarumma for his consistent brilliance.

“How can you win the Champions League without a great goalkeeper? Today Gigi was phenomenal, as he was against Liverpool and in every round before this,” said the former Barcelona coach.

Treble in Sight for PSG

PSG now stands on the brink of a historic treble, with two massive finals ahead:
  • Coupe de France final against Reims

  • Champions League final against Inter Milan in Munich

Despite a shaky start in the group stages, PSG’s dramatic 4-2 win over Manchester City turned their season around.

“We are deserving finalists,” concluded Luis Enrique, who already has a Champions League trophy with Barcelona.
