Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique has insisted that his squad possesses a stronger drive to conquer Arsenal in the Champions League final, citing the hunger that comes with defending a crown.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s showdown in Budapest, the Spaniard emphasized that the aim of becoming only the second club in modern history to retain Europe’s elite trophy surpasses Arsenal’s quest for a maiden title.
When pressed on the Gunners’ motivation for securing their first Champions League triumph, Enrique responded with a rhetorical question: “Do you truly appreciate how immense the ambition of winning back-to-back titles is? It eclipses everything. So we hold the advantage.”
The French champions booked their final berth after overcoming Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, while Arsenal dispatched Atletico Madrid to reach the decider. The match promises to be a clash of contrasting narratives—Arsenal chasing history versus PSG protecting their legacy.
