Then I would like to thank everyone from Paris Saint-Germain, everyone makes this club what it is. And of course the players, because they accomplished an incredible year.
“I would like to thank two very special people. First president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who always looks after the team, and also Luis Campos, we have always shared a special relationship.”

Luis Enrique deserves the accolade
The 55-year-old was undoubtedly the best manager in the world over the last year, and he deserves to win the award. Meanwhile, other managers like Arne Slot were nominated for the prestigious award as well. The Dutch manager had a remarkable debut season in the Premier League, and he helped Liverpool win the title.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, and Napoli manager Antonio Conte were nominated as well.
PSG were completely dominant in the French league and in the UEFA Champions League. Apart from winning the two trophies, they were exceptional with their performances, and they played a hugely attractive brand of attacking football, leaving fans and neutrals mesmerised throughout the season.
