While the Parisians maintain their training to arrive at the match with all the attitude, one man stands out from the team's bench: coach Luis Enrique.

Crowned in first place in Ligue 1, PSG arrived with a great advantage at the end of the season and now seeks to finish it in the best way, winning the Champions League trophy for the second time.

Five days before the final in Budapest, the club's forward, Ousmane Dembele, reflected on the progress of the Rouge et Bleu team over time, on coach Luis Enrique, and on how he is preparing for the moment.

In an interview broadcast by M6 and in words collected by Canal Supporters, last Sunday, Dembele reassured the fans about his physical condition.

Dembele assured that everything is going much better now than it was in the match against Paris FC (2-1), because, although he had a small scare, the doctor told him there was nothing to worry about.

The Frenchman had suffered discomfort in his calf and preferred not to take risks for the great final, so he left the field of play.

About how the season went for them, the forward recognized that it was an incredible year; even when things were not easy, they managed to stay afloat.

"We had to rotate the squad quite a bit due to the season we had last year. The other teams are also starting to know us, but we try to be unpredictable. It has been a great year, and we hope to end it on a high note."
- Ousmane Dembele

The Ballon d'Or winner also said that this final against Arsenal will not be approached any differently from last year's, because they now have more experience and Luis Enrique always reminds them to stay calm.

"We are not going to change our routine. We are with our families, and we return to training with a smile. We try to face this final with tranquility."
- Ousmane Dembele

Speaking about the Champions League semifinal match, where both PSG and Bayern Munich gave a totally crazy show, Dembele recognized that the German club is a very high-level team, such a tough rival that he does not remember another like it for two years, and assures that it is a match that everyone will remember forever.

The 29-year-old was also asked about Luis Enrique's 'recipe' for having such a balanced team. Dembele joked that they cannot reveal it, but assured that the coach is top-level, with a clear vision that he transmits to everyone he trains.

Dembele also recognized that he has done introspection work thanks to Luis Enrique, who has told him to lead by example both on and off the field of play.

"That is his philosophy. We attack and defend together. He tries to instill it in us, especially the attackers, who don't like to defend much. It is the only way to be a successful team. So far it has worked for us, and we are going to continue like this."

Finally, Ousmane recognized that he now feels a little more responsible for his performance after winning the Ballon d'Or, but that he will try to remain faithful to himself and set a good example, just as his coach asks him to.
