PSG/Flamengo – Luis Enrique on cloud nine after CL triumph

Paris Saint-Germain faced Flamengo this Wednesday (1-1, 3-1 on penalties) in the final of the Intercontinental Cup. A historic triumph for the capital's club, continuing its memorable year of 2025. Speaking to PSG TV, Parisian coach Luis Enrique reflected on this success.

Enrique "We are obviously happy for ourselves, for the club, and for our supporters"

"We are making history, again! We showed the same mentality as throughout this incredible, unforgettable year of 2025. We are obviously happy for ourselves, for the club, and for our supporters. It's very beautiful, we must continue. With our supporters, we are connected. It's a connection during all the matches at the Parc and all the away matches. We are very happy. We need to rest, we have one French Cup match left and then a bit of rest during Christmas. I think our team has this mix of experienced players and young players. We are very happy."

PSG continues its record-breaking year by becoming the first club to win the Intercontinental Cup. A tight match, with the breakthrough coming at the very end following a memorable penalty shootout and an immense performance by Matveu Safonov, the 26-year-old Parisian goalkeeper. With four saves, the Russian keeper took charge of the penalty shootout to offer this new title to PSG.
