PSG Carry a Strong Eagerness to Equal Last Season's Successes, Suggests Luis Enrique
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is gearing up for a challenging and historic season, with the club's coach, Luis Enrique, setting ambitious goals for the team.
Enrique has made it clear that PSG's main goal for the upcoming 2025-2026 season is to win the UEFA Champions League again, following their historic 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the previous final. He emphasized the ambition to "continue making history" and described winning back-to-back Champions League titles as a "very fun goal" despite its difficulty.
In addition to retaining the Champions League trophy, PSG aims to defend their Ligue 1 title in what Enrique predicts will be a much closer and more competitive league race compared to last season.
Enrique has identified several areas where PSG can improve to meet these challenges. He believes the team needs to regain their feel for the ball, indicating that PSG are not yet at 100% in terms of form and cohesion. Enrique highlighted the importance of hard work and fighting spirit, which has been PSG's "DNA in recent seasons," but acknowledged that the team must improve their performance consistency, particularly after a defeat in the FIFA Club World Cup final revealed some vulnerabilities.
He also pointed out the challenges of playing away matches and the necessity to maintain strong defensive organization, as seen in their solid clean sheet performance in the opening league match against Nantes.
To summarize, PSG's goals for the season include winning the Champions League again and defending the Ligue 1 title amidst a predicted tighter race. Areas to improve include regaining full match sharpness and ball control, maintaining defensive solidity, continuing the team's fighting spirit and high-intensity pressing, and improving consistency and fitness as the season progresses.
PSG will face Tottenham in the Super Cup on Wednesday, marking the start of their quest to repeat their successes from last season and go "down in history in true style"[2]. The Super Cup is being held in Udine[4].
