PSG “gets on everyone’s nerves”, Thierry Henry is blunt

Paris Saint-Germain won the most recent Champions League final against Arsenal (1-1, 4-3 on penalties). Thierry Henry, a former Arsenal legend now working as a pundit, looked back during the 2026-2027 league phase draw on that final as well as the progress made by the capital club in recent years.

Henry: “the most important thing is the club, the team, how you are going to play”

“Paris Saint-Germain are a troublesome team right now. They trouble everyone. They worked for this, they went through the pain. They know what it costs to win. But keeping a core, cohesion, and team balance is very important. I see people talking about the players’ names, about individuals. But for me, the most important thing is the club, the team, how you are going to play. If someone has a clear idea of how the team is going to play, that is very important. And all 11 players have to run. If you don’t do it, you win nothing,” comments relayed by RMC Sport.

What has allowed PSG to shine and, in particular, win two Champions League titles in a row is obviously the collective that has developed. Seeing players put in so much defensive effort, playing for one another, remains a footballing lesson in every major European match. All of this has, quite clearly, been a very long uphill battle.

Luis Enrique managed to impose that discipline and mindset. But it was also necessary to part ways with some very good players who unfortunately did not have the mentality needed to take PSG to the top. Today, the capital club has become a European benchmark, and one can only be pleased with this thoroughly deserved status, which is still only in its early stages.
