A key figure in this evolution has been Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian international, whose versatility has seen him deployed in both attacking and defensive roles, embodies the flexibility Enrique demands from his squad. Kvara’s ability to shift seamlessly between positions and responsibilities has added an element of unpredictability to PSG’s game, contributing decisively to their progress in Europe’s premier competition.
Enrique’s commitment to the collective has also signalled a broader cultural shift within PSG. The club’s previous reliance on individual stardom, a hallmark of the Qatar Sports Investments era, has been replaced by a system in which every player’s role is clearly defined within a wider tactical framework.
The likes of Ibrahimovic, Neymar, and Messi may have delivered memorable moments in Paris, but under Luis Enrique’s stewardship, the days of tailoring a team around a single superstar appear to be over.
Notably, Enrique foreshadowed this evolution last year, revealing in post-match interviews that his focus was already on building a side for the after season. That long-term vision is now bearing fruit.
