Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique has expressed confidence in his team's progression since their 2–0 defeat to Arsenal in October 2024. Ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final clash, Enrique stated, "I've watched the match back. We're a much better team now." He emphasized that the team has become more complete and confident, having navigated a challenging group stage and eliminated top Premier League sides Liverpool and Aston Villa en route to the semi-finals.

Enrique highlighted the importance of managing pressure and remaining focused during the two-leg tie, acknowledging Arsenal's consistent form and their 5–1 aggregate win over Real Madrid. He stressed that both teams share the ambition to win the Champions League for the first time.

The PSG manager also addressed the criticism his team has faced, stating, "No one is talking about the goals or the games we've won, let's talk about our defeats, that's fine." He emphasized the team's positive mindset and ambition, asserting that the pressure doesn't strangle them.

PSG's transformation under Enrique is evident, with the team clinching their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title and reaching the French Cup final. The upcoming semi-final against Arsenal presents an opportunity for PSG to rewrite history and pursue their first Champions League title.
