Despite now being a two-time UEFA Champions League winner, Luis Enrique has said that he is feeling the pressure now more than ever.

The Spaniard, who succeeded Christophe Galtier at Paris Saint-Germain, has secured his status as the greatest manager in the club’s history. Not only has he won Ligue 1 in each of his three seasons at the helm, but he has also done what no other PSG manager has done: won the Champions League. He has achieved that feat twice in two seasons and, going into this season, Les Parisiens are looking to become only the second team to win it three times in a row.

Luis Enrique, who only recently signed a contract extension until 2030, has said that he doesn’t feel like he can rest on his laurels. “Now there is even more pressure on me to show that I am ready to keep going and that I want to win many more trophies with Paris Saint-Germain,” he told PSG’s official channels . “I am not calmer or more relaxed simply because people tell me they are very happy. Parisians often tell me: ‘You have changed our lives’, but we have to be careful not to exaggerate the importance of football. There are many things in life that are more important.”

PSG have had a difficult start to the season and, going into Wednesday night’s Champions League match against Manchester City, the club sit sixth in Ligue 1, albeit they are now on a three-game winning streak in the league. “Defeats are precisely what force us to question ourselves. I do not need to look at other coaches for motivation. I have no intention of trying to improve my record or my CV simply to surpass them,” added Luis Enrique, who, now untouchable at PSG, is looking to make even more history.
