BREAKING NEWS: “We’ll humiliate them — but only if we’re able to stop him”: PSG coach Luis Enrique names the ONE Arsenal star they must silence to win
In a bold and fiery statement ahead of their much-anticipated Champions League clash, Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has sent shockwaves through the football world after claiming that his side will “humiliate” Arsenal — but only if they manage to neutralize one key player.
Speaking to French media during his pre-match press conference, Enrique expressed his confidence in PSG’s ability to dominate the game but was quick to point out that there’s one man who could ruin their plans. Without mentioning others, the Spanish coach singled out Arsenal’s sensational midfielder Martin Ødegaard as the heartbeat of Mikel Arteta’s team and the player PSG must stop at all costs.
“They’re a very good side. Arsenal have improved a lot over the years and have many weapons, but there’s one player who dictates their entire rhythm. If we’re able to stop him, we’ll humiliate them on the pitch,” Enrique boldly declared. “Martin Ødegaard is the brain of that team. Everything flows through him. If you cut his influence, you cut the team.”
Arsenal fans have reacted strongly to the comments, with many seeing it as a disrespectful and arrogant claim from the PSG manager. Social media erupted as Gooners from all over the world rallied behind Ødegaard, calling Enrique’s remarks “wishful thinking” and a dangerous case of underestimating Mikel Arteta’s well-drilled side.
The North London club, currently enjoying a strong run of form in both the Premier League and Europe, are not taking these comments lightly. Sources inside the Emirates camp reveal that Arteta has already used Enrique’s words as motivation for his squad, reminding them of the importance of staying focused and letting their football do the talking on the night.
While PSG boasts a star-studded squad featuring Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Achraf Hakimi, it’s clear that Enrique is wary of Arsenal’s growing reputation and knows they’re no longer the underdogs of old.
As both teams prepare for what promises to be an explosive showdown, one thing is certain — all eyes will be on Martin Ødegaard.
Will PSG back up Enrique’s big words, or will Arsenal silence them on the pitch?
Stay tuned.
