"They Said We're Farmers League"- Luis Enrique Mockingly Defends Ligue 1 After PSG’s Champions League Victory Over Arsenal

Share This
Luis Enrique mocked critics who dismiss Ligue 1 as a “farmers' league” after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their place in the UEFA Champions League final with a 3–1 aggregate win over Arsenal. Following their impressive 2–1 victory on May 7, 2025, at Parc des Princes, Enrique couldn't resist a cheeky remark, claiming, “We are the league of farmers, but yes, it's nice.”

The win saw goals from Fabián Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi, with Bukayo Saka's late strike for Arsenal proving insufficient to mount a comeback. Despite the English side's efforts, PSG's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma delivered several crucial saves to keep the scoreline intact and his team on course for European glory.

This victory means PSG are just one step away from their first-ever Champions League title, having made it to the final for the second time in the club's history. Their upcoming opponents, Inter Milan, will be no pushovers, but PSG have already proven their ability to compete with Europe's elite.

Enrique’s comment about beating four Premier League teams—Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal—on their Champions League run only added to the spectacle. “We are the league of farmers, but sometimes it’s nice,” he said with a smile, savoring the moment. The victory was not only a statement of PSG’s quality but a reminder that, despite Ligue 1's reputation, they remain one of the top clubs in Europe.

This wasn’t the first time Enrique has been outspoken about the Premier League. In the past, he has admitted his admiration for English football and his desire to one day manage in the Premier League, saying, “I follow English football a lot, more than Spanish,” and “I am clearly influenced because I would like to work there.”

PSG's journey to the final has been filled with resilience and moments of brilliance. Under Enrique's leadership, the team has demonstrated a refreshing style of play, a combination of youthful talent and experienced heads, which has allowed them to overcome challenges from top-tier teams. Now, with the final just ahead, the focus shifts to securing that elusive Champions League trophy.

As PSG prepares for their May 31 showdown in Munich, Luis Enrique remains confident in his team's ability to secure their first-ever European crown, but he's already enjoying the success that has brought them this far.
