When Luis Enrique declared that Paris St Germain would be better off without Kylian Mbappe, many perceived it as mere arrogance. Fast forward to the present, PSG's 5-0 Champions League final victory over Inter Milan not only substantiates Enrique's statement but also rewrites the club's blueprint from one of star-centricity to structural integrity and collective faith.

The victory is emblematic of Luis Enrique's successful overhaul in his second season. The team achieved its first European title with a dynamic young squad. Despite Mbappe's formidable legacy at PSG, his move to Real Madrid left space for fresh talent like French teenager Desire Doue, who emerged as a key player in the final.

Champions League hopes seemed ephemeral early in the season. However, a significant comeback against Manchester City reinvigorated PSG's campaign, propelling them toward the ultimate triumph. Enrique's no-nonsense discipline and strategic shuffles forged resilience seen in standout performances throughout the squad. His leadership has solidified a sustainable, winning formula for the club.
