The Immortals

One month after the Club World Cup final, the legs are heavy, pre-season has been non-existent. But there is a trophy to be won. August 13, 2025. Stadio Friuli, Udine. The UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham, Europa League winners.

UEFA Super Cup · 2025-08-13

Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Tottenham
39' M. Van de Ven 0-1
48' C. Romero 0-2
85' Lee Kang-in 1-2
90+4' Gonçalo Ramos 2-2

Penalties: 4 - 3

0-2, the 48th minute. Is it over? Never. Lee Kang-in pulls one back in the 85th with a clinical strike. Then Gonçalo Ramos, with a header, snatches the equalizer in the 90th+4. Penalties: 4-3 PSG. This team never dies.

The third team in history to achieve the Sextuple, after Barcelona 2009 and Bayern Munich 2020.

I'd rather have four players who score 12 goals each than one who scores 40.

Luis Enrique

Pre-season 2024-25, on his collective philosophy

2025-26 Season

And to complete the picture, PSG travel to Montjuic. Without Dembélé, the reigning Ballon d'Or winner, sidelined with a hamstring injury. Without Marquinhos, without Doué, without Kvaratskhelia. Luis Enrique fields Mbaye, Mayulu and Barcola up front. A squad decimated by injuries, at Montjuic, where Parisian supporters silenced the Catalan crowd. In Catalonia, some still believe Yamal deserved the award. Paris answers on the pitch: 2-1, victory.

I absolutely didn't like what he was doing at first. But then I realized he completely changed: his communication, his management style, everything.
