Hey, we're now joined by Luis Enrique who's just guided his team to another Champions League win. I know you're a very fit man. Oh, thank you. I know you're a very fit man, but how is your heart after those penalties? I decide long time ago to rest calm. I'm trying to enjoy the last thing because you need luck to win that kind of uh penalties, but uh I think we were great in terms of quality, kicking the ball, and also with goalkeeper. To win back-to-back Champions Leagues is an incredible achievement. Just sum up what it means to you and your team.

Yeah, it's amazing. I think we deserve maybe today both teams deserve to win, but the way we played the whole season, I think we deserve to win that Champions League, and we are very lucky. Also, we are very happy, and I'm trying to be there next year. Why not? What is you know for this group of players? You've got a very young squad, a lot of top talent. What's next for this team? What is it capable of? It's normal situation when you have uh a lot of quality players, but we need to renew the squad because you know everyone has uh their position, but uh we need to play for the position. We need to uh get new players.

We need to uh solve the things that normally you have to do in a team like Paris Saint-Germain. How difficult was it against Arsenal because you've had some very tough matches in the Champions League already. What was it like tonight? I think the match has started the best way for them. They scoring a lucky action. After that, it was pleasure for them because they know how to defend. Yeah. Uh it was very tough. We are used to attacking in that way with a lot of players behind the ball, but against them they are strong physically. They try to take advantage in any action.

Very tough. I think we deserve to draw the match. And at the end we are very happy winning that trophy. Yeah. I'm going to show you a graphic here, Luis, just to show you're in such great company here. Most European Cup or UCL wins in terms of managers. Carlo Ancelotti is just ahead of you, but look, you're on that list of in excellent company. Okay, I have to improve. Hey, and you're not done yet, though, are you? We'll see. This team, five possible, no? Five? Four, I can sign for. We'll let you go and enjoy it, Luis. Thank you so much. Luis Enrique
