Hakimi hails coach Luis Enrique's impact at PSG
Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue both paid tribute to Luis Enrique after the Spanish coach led Paris Saint-Germain to its first UEFA Champions League crown.
PSG finally won the much-coveted trophy after an emphatic 5-0 rout of Inter Milan in Munich, the biggest victory in a final in the competition.
Hakimi got the ball rolling after just 12 minutes, while Desire Doue's brace put Luis Enrique's side in control at Allianz Arena, before later strikes from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu added further gloss to the scoreline.
Luis Enrique, who guided Barcelona to glory a decade ago, became only the sixth different coach to win the UEFA Champions League with two different clubs, after Carlo Ancelotti, Ottmar Hitzfeld, Jose Mourinho, Jupp Heynckes and Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard is also the second manager after Guardiola (Barca 2008-2009 and Manchester City 2022-2023) to win a treble with a European club on two occasions (also Barca 2014-2015).
"He is the man who has changed everything at PSG," Hakimi said of Luis Enrique. "Since he came here, he has changed the way football is seen. He is a loyal man, he deserves it more than anyone else.
"We have made history, we have written our names in the history of this club," Hakimi added. "For a long time, this club deserved it. We are very happy. We have created a great family."
Doue played the starring role for PSG, becoming the first player to be involved in three goals in a UEFA Champions League final.
"I have no words," he said. "That was just incredible for me, simply incredible."
On Luis Enrique, he added: "He's been here two years, and he's made history for the club. Tactically, mentally, he's a really good coach, but not only as a coach – as a human being, too. It's a pleasure to work with him."
