PSG's Luis Enrique: A Master of Finals with 17 Wins in 20 Matches
Paris Saint-Germain clinched the European Super Cup on Wednesday, August 12th, by defeating Aston Villa 2-1. This victory marks a strong start to their season and further solidifies Luis Enrique's reputation as a formidable manager in cup finals.
Luis Enrique continues to build an impressive statistic: he has now won 17 out of the 20 finals he has managed. This remarkable streak began on May 30, 2015, with his first final as a first-team coach, a Copa del Rey victory for FC Barcelona against Athletic Bilbao (3-1).
A Single Loss with Paris
During his tenure at Barcelona, Luis Enrique dominated both domestic and European competitions, securing 7 trophies in two years. His only final defeat during this period was in the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao on August 17, 2015.
A notable exception to his winning record came when he managed the Spanish national team. Despite reaching the final of the Nations League, his team lost to France on October 10, 2021 (2-1).
At Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique has maintained his high level of performance in finals, winning 10 out of 11 appearances. The only team to defeat PSG in a final under his leadership was Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup (0-3) on July 13, 2025. Entering his fourth season with the Parisian club, Luis Enrique is poised to extend this exceptional winning run.
