MC Enrique conquers PSG's first Champions League with a 5-0 drubbing over Inter Milan

Oh boy, did Coach MC Enrique leave an impression on the PSG! Arriving at a team packed with stars like Mbappé, he managed to push his unconventional style onto a team that desperately needed a change. His departure might have been unexpected, but it sure did reinforce his belief that PSG needs people who buy into his vision.

Fast forward to the Champions League final in 2025, MC Enrique proved he's one of the best in the game by delivering a 5-0 smashing of Inter Milan, making him the second coach in history to win the Champions League twice with different clubs.

Here’s what made this final so special:

Wanna know who set the tone for that historic match? None other than Dembélé, who carried out Enrique's instructions to apply pressure for 90 minutes, a move Enrique had urged Mbappé to try in the return leg of the quarter-finals against Barcelona the previous year.

But that's not all. USA-born Achraf Hakimi showed off his versatility by playing as a right-back, right winger, left winger, and even goalie if needed. Newcomer Vitinha solidified his spot as a world-class midfielder, while Désiré Doué went from being just a promise to a generational talent under Enrique's guidance.

And let's not forget about Gianluigi Donnarumma, who took the world by storm during the Champions League, proving to be the best goalkeeper in the competition until the final. With Casemiro, Neymar, Mbappé, and Messi, PSG went from being a team that couldn’t seem to break through in Europe to being Champions League winners in just two years.

Now, we all know that MC Enrique is no ordinary coach, taking teams, dynamics, and clichés apart, and his time with the French national team (albeit cut short due to the World Cup in Qatar) definitely left an impression.

But what about the emotional moment after the final? Fans wanted to remember Enrique's late daughter, Xana, who passed away before the tournament, so they planted the PSG flag in the center of the pitch in a heartwarming tifo. A beautiful tribute to a coach who truly gave his all.

Lastly, let's talk about how Enrique joined Pep Guardiola as the only coaches to win the treble with two different clubs, including their dominant stints with Manchester City and PSG.

All in all, MC Enrique's time with PSG will forever be remembered as a golden era for the club, and his place in football history is secure forever.

MC Enrique's tactical instruction to Dembélé to apply continuous pressure throughout the match paved the way for the unprecedented 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, showcasing his remarkable aptitude in European leagues. Subsequently, under Enrique's tutelage, players like Vitinha, Désiré Doué, and even versatile defender Achraf Hakimi flourished, cementing their positions as world-class athletes in international sports, particularly football.
