Luis Enrique takes a jab at the Bundesliga: “I only know the clubs from the UCL”

Luis Enrique, the head coach of PSG, didn’t hold back when asked about German football. “I don’t have much time to watch German football, but I know the teams in the Champions League,” he admitted. His comment hints at a lack of enthusiasm for the Bundesliga, especially given its repetitive nature at the top. He added: “The Bundesliga is usually won by FC Bayern with a large points margin – sometimes even more than PSG in France…”🚨 Luis Enrique: “Beating all 4 Premier League teams? Well… the League of Farmers, know? We are the league of farmers.” 🚜🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/V0RjYOZwU3— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 7, 2025 It was a subtle jab from a manager who’s lifted the Champions League trophy twice (once with Barcelona in 2014/15, and most recently with PSG in 2024/25). The dig may not be accidental — after all, Bayern Munich has been showing strong interest in one of Enrique’s own: Bradley Barcola. But PSG have no plans to let their rising French talent go. Enrique made that crystal clear: “It’s great when top clubs admire our players, but we are fully committed to our young talents, especially the French ones.”Barcola, who played a role in PSG’s treble-winning season, has drawn attention from Bayern following a drop in minutes. The arrivals of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January and the emergence of Desire Doue have pushed him down the pecking order — and the German champions have taken notice.🚨 Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique says he has “no doubt” Bradley Barcola will be staying at the club, despite Bayern Munich showing interest.

He’s had to endure a lot of criticism in Paris—that’s normal for a second-year player. It’s part of the maturation process. Of course, we want him to stay with us for many more years, and he wants that too. I have no doubt about that.”##NAJAVA_MECA_9008696##
