At a press conference, Luis Enrique was questioned about the Ballon d’Or, and although he joked about the expectations of journalists, he stressed that the PSG team is focused on its collective goals of winning trophies. He highlighted the importance of collective performance and concentration on the club, rather than individual distinctions. Two PSG players stand out as potential contenders: Ousmane Dembélé, who makes an excellent season with 35 goals and 16 assists, and Ashraf Hakimi, also in shape with 11 goals and 16 assists. Hakimi himself said that he deserved this highly prized distinction.

The press conference also addressed the question of the possible tenure of Illia Zabarnyi, the last PSG recruit. Although he was present during the UEFA Supercup victory, he has not yet officially started. Luis Enrique preferred not to reveal too much, stressing the difficulty of the position of defender and the importance of Zabarnyi’s contribution, especially with the ball. He insisted on the important reinforcement that this player represents for the team.

Finally, Luis Enrique expressed his ambitions for next season, stating that the main objective is to continue writing the club’s history. After winning the Champions League, the PSG aims for a back-to-back and is considered a great favourite. He stressed the difficulty of achieving this double victory and the club’s ambition to maintain this competitive mentality. The first game of the season, against FC Nantes, will be an important test to set the tone for PSG opponents.
