- Asked in translation about PSG's more humble image, including his cycling in, Luis Enrique said it is just nine kilometres. He has always aimed to give supporters something entertaining.

- Asked in translation if the coach's role is exaggerated, Luis Enrique said every coach has an impact. He never changes how he manages, with or without stars, and wants the best version of his players.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique speaks ahead of PSG’s massive Champions League semi-final second leg vs Arsenal — and he didn’t hold back.
From tactical plans to personal emotion, Luis Enrique reflects on:
How Borussia Dortmund ruined his birthday in last year’s UCL semifinal
Why this year’s PSG squad is “stronger, more complete, and ready to finish the job”
His deep respect for Mikel Arteta — from Barcelona days to now
The importance of staying humble and connected with fans
Dembélé’s return to full training and whether he’ll start
Why transitions and mindset will be key to the second leg
His admiration for Kvaratskhelia and how close PSG came to signing him
Managing pressure and turning pain into motivation
Enrique’s message is clear: “This time, I want a birthday worth remembering — and it starts with reaching the final.”
