The coach organized an evening at the restaurant to celebrate the second consecutive Champions League final and his 56th birthday. But when the players arrive…

May 8 – 9.10pm – MILAN

A Champions League final, the second in a row, is worth a dinner. But with Luis Enrique even a team dinner is always a bit alternative. In fact, the PSG coach organized everything, meeting his players last night in one of the chic restaurants in the capital. Obviously everyone showed up, but in the end, as the Parisien newspaper wrote today, only one person was missing: Luis Enrique himself who paid for the dinner and today, among other things, turns 56.

CAVIAR

The Spanish coach invited his players to the “Prunier”, a restaurant not far from the Arc de Triomphe, specialized among other things in caviar, as well as seafood. Also a bit to extend the celebrations in Munich, after having obtained qualification for the final in Budapest. A battle that rewarded the team spirit of a squad that Luis Enrique shaped according to his technical, tactical and also mental canons, to obtain that all-encompassing football that allowed them to win their first continental title a year ago. A daily job based on clear rules for everyone, and zero privileges.

REST

Hence the positive climate that reigns in the locker room and then materializes on the pitch. However, Luis Enrique also wanted to share his approach to his 56th birthday today. So everyone, from Dembélé to Kvaratskhelia, from Safonov to Chevalier, to Doué, passing through the young people launched over the last three years, participated in the dinner, even in the absence of their guide, the only one absent. However, the players celebrated the same qualification and birthday, staying at the table until late, knowing that Friday was a day of rest. Training resumes tomorrow, on the eve of the championship match against Brest.
