Luis Enrique, on Arteta's viral video: «We’ll see in the final who’s best» | OneFootball

One day before the Champions League final against Arsenal, Luis Enrique avoided getting into any controversy when asked about the video that went viral in recent hours of Mikel Arteta during a private celebration for the English team, where he expressed his desire to win the trophy. “I don’t need to put that up in the dressing room for my players. We’ll see tomorrow who has been the best. I’m focused on us performing at our best level,” he said.

In addition, the PSG coach made the importance of the match clear: “There is no greater motivation than playing a match for a title.” And he explained how they have been preparing for the game, which will be played in Budapest on Saturday at 1 p.m.: “We have tried to manage the workload well and give the players some rest. We have also had time to study the opponent, whom we know quite well”

He also had words of praise for their upcoming rival and highlighted the work Arteta has been doing for several years. “Arsenal have not surprised me; they have deserved to win the Premier League. It will be Arteta’s seventh year at the club, and you can see what kind of team he has built”, he noted.

On the other hand, he recalled that reaching the decisive stages was one of the goals set since his arrival in Paris: “This was my objective, the institution’s objective, and the sporting director’s objective. It was part of the plan, perhaps not as quickly as we achieved it”. He also stressed that the immediate challenge is to add another trophy to the club’s cabinet. And he added: “In a Champions League final, you never know when you will have another opportunity like this, so we have to deliver the best version of ourselves.”

Finally, the Spaniard explained why he believes PSG has reason to dream of another continental triumph: “First of all because we are the current champions, and secondly because no team has had a tougher schedule over the last two years than ours. I hope the final is a celebration for football and that the best team wins”, he concluded.
