Luis Enrique is on the verge of securing his first title with Paris Saint-Germain since his arrival last summer. The team, led by Mbappé, faces Toulouse at Parc des Princes, where they will compete for the Trophee des Champions—a match that pits the champions of Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France.
It's a perfect scenario for the Spanish coach to once again lift a trophy, something that hasn't happened since 2017 when, at the helm of FC Barcelona, he became the Copa del Rey champion.
In total, Luis Enrique has clinched nine trophies, including one Champions League, two La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey triumphs, one UEFA Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, and one Spanish Super Cup.
It's worth noting the excellent form of Enrique's squad, having won nine out of the last 10 matches in domestic competition. They maintain a commanding lead, sitting five points ahead of their closest pursuer, Nice.
Mbappé's Outstanding Performance
Kylian Mbappé has contributed to 25 goals in his recent 17 appearances for both PSG and France across all competitions, tallying 19 goals and 6 assists. Notably, he found the net in three of his last four matchups against Toulouse, with a memorable debut in the 2023-24 season where he scored as a substitute, resulting in a 1-1 draw in Ligue 1 last August.
Total Domination by PSG
PSG clinched the victory in nine out of the last 10 editions of the Trophee des Champions, with the lone exception in 2021 when they suffered a defeat against Lille.
