PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference ahead of the final against Arsenal. He described it as a historic match, while emphasizing that it is easy to achieve with the players he has at his disposal.

Enrique admitted that the match against Bayern Munich was the one he enjoyed the most in the Champions League.

Among other things, the Parisian coach revealed that Hakimi and Mendes will be with the team tomorrow.

"These two teams are more than two different ideas, they are two similar ideas but with different paths. They are a team that scores a lot of goals and we are a team that defends very well. Arsenal have been the best team in the Premier League this year, they deserved to win the Premier League.

We have tried to give the players a break at the end of the training sessions. We have had time to analyse our opponents and we know them very well. There are areas to improve, both in attack and defence. You never know if you will be back in a Champions League final, so we have to give our best.

But to be honest, against Bayern is the match I enjoyed the most in the Champions League. In the matches against Chelsea, Monaco and Liverpool, we showed the team we are. We are in our second Champions League final and this is historic for us.

It's always difficult to talk about a final. Last season's final was extraordinary, but this is football. I don't think there are any favourites right now, but we have to make the most of the little details. There will be a lot of tension and we have to deal with it.

If we lose three games in a row, there is absolute chaos, if we win continuously it is normal, that is how a team like PSG works. Over the last three seasons we have shown that we are a team that plays very good football and we have demonstrated consistency.

There is no greater motivation than playing in the Champions League final; the rest is just talk. We will see tomorrow who is better and who wins the title.

"This level we are at was my goal, the club's goal and the sporting directors' goal. Maybe not so quickly, but we deserved to win the Champions League last year, because we were the best team. It's easier to achieve these goals with the players we have. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are good. They can play tomorrow ," Enrique concluded.
