PSG Suffers Heavy Defeat to Chelsea in Final

In the recent match, Luis Enrique and PSG suffered a decisive 3-0 defeat against Chelsea in a surprising final.

The Parisian team’s previous impressive performance — including a dramatic 4-2 comeback against Manchester City in January — was nowhere to be seen in this match. Chelsea managed to take a two-goal lead through Cole Palmer within the first 30 minutes.

Enzo Maresca implemented an effective strategy with high intensity:

• Tight marking of PSG players
• Positioning Reece James to neutralize the Nuno Mendes and Khvicha Kvaraskhelia combination
• Aggressive pressing that disrupted PSG’s build-up play

This defeat raises questions about PSG’s future. The club needs to resolve goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s contract ending next year, while the defense requires strengthening following Willian Pacho’s absence and Marquinhos’s declining performance.

“We maintained that intensity for as long as we could, maybe 35 minutes, but it turned out to be enough to win the match because by that stage we were 2-0 up,” said Maresca after the game.
