Paris, France – Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has heaped praise on five key players following the club’s dramatic UEFA Super Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
Tottenham looked destined to lift the trophy after leading 2-0 for over 80 minutes in Athens. But Omo, football no be maths! PSG refused to give up, with late strikes from substitutes Lee Kang-in and Gonçalo Ramos forcing the game into a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes.
The drama didn’t end there — PSG went on to seal a 4-3 victory in a tense penalty shootout, clinching yet another piece of silverware for the club.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Enrique was full of praise for his squad, particularly goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who made crucial saves during the game.
“Lucas Chevalier showed a big personality,” Enrique said. “I am very happy for him because he showed that personality and also for the players who came from the bench because they are so important and all of them want to play in the lineup. Today, Gonçalo, Kang-in, Fabian and Mbaye, all of them played great.”
Omo, bench players just prove say dem fit scatter game at any time!
Enrique’s comments highlight the depth of PSG’s squad, with substitutes stepping up when it mattered most. Fabian Ruizcontrolled the midfield in the closing stages, Ibrahim Mbaye added energy and defensive stability, while Kang-in and Ramos delivered the decisive goals that dragged PSG back into the game.
The win not only gives PSG the UEFA Super Cup title but also sends a strong message ahead of the 2025/26 season — this team can fight till the last whistle, no matter the scoreline.
E be like say PSG dey ready for war this season, and if Enrique’s players keep performing like this, more trophies could be on the way to Paris.
