Win the Triple Crown for the Second Time! Ashraf praised Enrique: "He is the one who changed everything in Paris"

Football

In the early morning of June 1, 2025, after Paris Saint-Germain swept Inter Milan 5-0 and won the Champions League for the first time, Ashraf Hakimi and young player Desir Duer praised coach Luis Enrique, saying that he was the key figure in leading the team to glory.

In the final at the Allianz Stadium in Munich, Paris Saint-Germain showed overwhelming dominance. Hakimi scored the first record for the team in just 12 minutes of the game, and then Due, who was only 19 years old, scored twice and completely controlled the situation. Since then, Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu have also scored one after another, eventually helping Paris win a 5-goal victory and win the first Champions League trophy in team history - this is also the biggest victory in the history of the Champions League final.

For coach Enrique, this is not only another peak in his personal coaching career, but also makes him the sixth head coach to lead two different teams to win the Champions League title (previously Ancelotti, Hittsfield, Mourinho, Heinquez and Guardiola). At the same time, he also followed Guardiola (leading Barcelona to win the 2008-09 season and Manchester City in 2022-23 season respectively), and the second coach to lead the team to complete the "triple-champion" twice (Barcelona in 2014-15 and Paris in 2024-25 season). After the game, Hakimi said in an interview: "Luis Enrique is the one who changed everything about Paris Saint-Germain. Since he came here, he has completely changed the way we understand football. He is a loyal and determined person, and no one deserves the success he has today."

The Moroccan international directly participated in 9 goals in the Champions League this season (4 goals + 5 assists), tied with Leeds United's Ian Hart in the 2000-01 season and became the player with the defender to score the most goals in the Champions League in a single season.

"We made history and we wrote our names into the history of this club." Hakimi said excitedly. "This city and this club have been waiting for this moment for a long time. We are very happy and united. We have built a great family on and off the court."

The young player Duer, who also shines in the game, became one of the biggest highlights of this game. He not only scored two goals, but also provided an assist, becoming the first player in the history of the Champions League final to participate in three goals.

In addition, at the age of 19 years and 362 days, he became the youngest player in the European Champions League/Champions League finals and was also the youngest player to score goals and assist in the finals.

Talking about his performance, Douai couldn't hide his excitement: "I'm so exhausted. It was an incredible experience for me, it was really fantastic." When talking about Enrique, Douai said: "He has been in the club for two years and wrote a historic chapter for the team. He is an extremely outstanding coach at both tactical and psychological levels. Not only that, as an ordinary person, he is also admirable. It is a great honor to work with him."

With the arrival of this coveted Champions League trophy, Paris Saint-Germain not only fulfilled the club's long-cherished wish for many years, but also opened a new era for them under the leadership of Louis Enrique.
