Paris Saint-Germain boss Luis Enrique described his team’s second Champions League triumph as ‘even bigger’ than their maiden European title a year ago, after they beat Arsenal 4-3 on penalties in the final here on Saturday.
“It is even bigger [than last year’s title win] because we knew of the difficulties of playing against Arsenal. We have deserved it over the course of the season even if the final was really close-fought. The match started in the best way for them. After that, they know how to defend. So, It was very tough. [But] we are used to attacking in that way,” said Enrique.
