Enrique joins the club of greats
Luis Enrique further cemented his place among Europe's elite coaches after guiding Paris Saint-Germain to retain their Champions League title with a penalty shootout victory over Arsenal in the final. This achievement secured the Spanish coach a perfect record in European finals, having won all three of his appearances in the competition, joining Bob Paisley and Zinedine Zidane as the only other managers to have achieved this feat. Enrique also etched his name in the annals of football history, becoming the first Spanish coach to win the Champions League in consecutive seasons since José Villalonga's triumph with Real Madrid in the inaugural two editions of the tournament. Enrique's success extends beyond the continental stage, as he now boasts 12 titles with Paris Saint-Germain, making him the most decorated manager in the club's history, surpassing Laurent Blanc's previous record of 11. This achievement confirms the magnitude of the impact made by the Spanish coach since taking over the team, after he succeeded in consolidating Paris Saint-Germain’s dominance both domestically and continentally, and leading it to a new stage of historic successes.
