Lessons Learned from Group-Stage Struggles
PSG’s Champions League journey wasn’t smooth sailing.
Losses to Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich made the group stage a test of endurance.
However, Luis Enrique emphasized the value of those high-pressure matches, stating:
“We had a very intense league phase, with a lot of games that could have been finals. It was risky but it helped us, even when it was very hard.”
These challenges, while painful, sparked necessary growth—forming a tougher, more focused squad capable of competing at the highest level.
Ligue 1 Title Secured, Eyes on Europe

Yet a draw against Nantes and a defeat to Nice raised some concerns. Still, Enrique remains calm:
“It doesn’t worry me. The spirit in the squad is exceptional.”
His confidence suggests that PSG’s dip in domestic form won’t derail their European ambitions.
