In January, PSG claimed the French Super Cup and the Ligue 1 championship followed in April. Last Saturday, Bradley Barcola bagged a brace as PSG overpowered Reims to lift the Coupe de France for a record 16th time in its 108-year history.

But the Champions League crown has eluded them despite the billion euros pumped into the teams since PSG was taken over by the Qatari Sports Investments group in 2011.

"My biggest motivation is to make history in Paris and add to the history of France," said Enrique. "Being the first to do something, that's something that drives me."

Since succeeding Christophe Galtier in July 2023, the 55-year-old Spaniard has guided his teams to two Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France crowns and two French Super Cups.
