Enrique: We Have the Ambition to Win the Champions League Twice in a Row
The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique, spoke about his team's preparations for the match against Nantes in the first round of the French league for the 2025/2026 season, emphasizing that the team aims to continue its successes despite physical challenges and strong competition.
Enrique said: "Last season was amazing because we were at a very high level, and that's not usual. As for this season, I don't know what will happen, but our goal is to win the championship. I expect the competition to be strong and intertwined."
The Spanish coach added: "Football is a physical sport full of contacts, so injuries are a natural part of it. We will continue to analyze playtime, travel, training, and all the important details related to the players' health."
He continued: "The start of the season is always tough, but the required feeling will gradually return over time. We know the difficulty of playing away, and the match against Nantes will not be easy, but it is the kind of challenge we must overcome."
Enrique spoke about continental ambitions, saying: "From day one here, my goal has been to make history. Winning the Champions League twice in a row is rare and difficult, but we have the ambition and mentality that allows us to pursue this goal. It depends on our performance, and I think it is an enjoyable challenge."
Regarding the summer transfer market, Enrique said: "I am very happy with the transfer market. We do not need a large number of players because the real work was done over the past two years."
He added: "The diversity of players' roles gives us the flexibility to cover all positions. We are comfortable, and the group that arrived this summer meets our needs."
