Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has etched his name in football history by becoming the seventh coach to win the UEFA Champions League trophy with two different clubs after guiding PSG to a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the 2025 final on Saturday.
The Spanish tactician watched as his team delivered a masterclass performance in Munich, with Desire Doue netting twice while Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Senny Mayulu each added a goal to secure PSG's first-ever Champions League title.
This triumph marks Enrique's second Champions League success as a manager, having previously led Barcelona to European glory in 2015 when they defeated Juventus 3-1 in Berlin, Germany.
