Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has hailed the club’s long-awaited Champions League triumph as a powerful vindication.
Speaking to Le Parisien, he described the win as the result of “patience, discipline, and collective spirit” — a clear nod to Luis Enrique’s influence. “It’s a form of revenge for everything that was said or written,” Blanc admitted, visibly proud. He praised Enrique’s tactical vision and emphasis on teamwork: “The word ‘collective’ fits him perfectly. Hats off to him and his staff.”
A Reward for Years of Resilience
Blanc pointed to the club’s transformation — from a star-centric project to a well-oiled footballing machine. The former manager lauded the PSG leadership for staying the course despite harsh criticism: “The club learned from its past failures and never gave in to discouragement, even when the atmosphere turned toxic.”
He also revealed he always believed in the club’s European destiny: “I didn’t know when, but I always said yes — PSG would win it one day.”
Marquinhos, the Face of Loyalty
Blanc ended with a special mention for Marquinhos, the club’s captain who arrived during his tenure and has since become a symbol of PSG’s identity: “He embodies consistency and loyalty. I’m proud that it was him who lifted the trophy first.”
For PSG, this wasn’t just a victory — it was a statement. A confirmation that resilience and vision can eventually conquer even the harshest doubts.
