In the documentary that Movistar+ he dedicated to him, Louis Enrique he lets himself go in a statement that jumps to everyone’s attention: the Spanish coach could never have coached the old version of PSG. First of all because the former Barcelona coach himself would never have imagined being able to sit on that bench before the departure of Messi and Neymar.
The admission
The former Barça coach, who was coach of the Spanish national team between 2018 and 2022, he didn’t feel in tune with the transfer policy of the transalpine clubtoo focused on recruiting too many champions for his liking. In the statements reported by BrandLuis Enrique admitted: “I would not have coached PSG with Messi, Neymar and Mbappé”. After two seasons without a Champions League, the “MNM” era ended in the summer of 2023.
The Destruction of the MNM
Arriving as a free agent two years earlier, the Argentine star did not want to renew his contract and moved to Inter Miami, a team in the MLS. Neymar, on the other hand, was sold for 90 million euros to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. Both had actually been managed at Barça by Luis Enrique, also winning the Champions League in 2015. So upon his arrival, the Spaniard found himself with only Mbappé, who he managed to enjoy until last season, before he moved to Real Madrid. All, however, in line with PSG’s innovative and compliant line of not orienting everything around the stars. As requested by “Lucho”.
“As many times as I have, oh I’m even better”
