Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique appears to have developed a special appetite for English opposition after his side defeated Manchester City 4–2 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. Following the impressive victory, the Spanish tactician expressed his hope that PSG would continue playing against English teams, adding: “It’s nice to come and see all of you.” His comments have raised an entertaining question among football fans: has Enrique simply discovered a taste for English football, or does he still have unfinished business following Chelsea’s victory over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final?
ENRIQUE ENJOYS ENGLISH VISITS AS PSG TURN MANCHESTER CITY INTO THEIR LATEST VICTIMS
PSG delivered a devastating first-half performance against Manchester City, scoring three times through Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha before the interval. City attempted to recover through Erling Haaland’s second-half brace, but Maghnes Akliouche’s goal ensured that the French champions left Manchester with a convincing 4–2 victory. The result strengthened PSG’s early position in the Champions League campaign and gave Enrique another reason to appreciate travelling to England. Apparently, the English welcome becomes considerably warmer when your team scores four goals and leaves the opposition explaining what went wrong.
Enrique’s desire to keep facing English clubs has therefore become an amusing talking point. For a manager whose team has just conquered Manchester City on their own turf, the prospect of another English opponent might sound less like a challenge and more like an invitation to another footballing adventure. However, there is a difference between enjoying competitive European fixtures and deliberately searching for English opponents. Enrique’s comments alone do not establish that he is targeting any particular club, but they provide enough material for supporters to wonder which Premier League giant he would like to meet next. Perhaps the PSG manager has decided that English football offers excellent competition, excellent entertainment and, occasionally, an excellent opportunity to take home three points.
CHELSEA’S CLUB WORLD CUP VICTORY: A WOUND THAT MAY NOT BE AS DEEP AS FANS THINK
The Chelsea angle makes this story even more interesting. Chelsea defeated PSG 3–0 in the FIFA Club World Cup final on July 13, 2025, delivering a painful result for Enrique’s side on one of football’s biggest international club stages. Cole Palmer scored twice, while João Pedro added another goal as Chelsea dominated the final. That defeat gave Chelsea bragging rights and left PSG with a major trophy opportunity missed. With Enrique now expressing enthusiasm about continuing to face English teams, some supporters may be tempted to connect his latest remarks to that disappointment.
Still, football banter should not be confused with confirmed motivation. There is no established evidence in the cited post-match comments that Enrique’s latest statement was a response to Chelsea’s Club World Cup triumph or that he is seeking revenge against the London club. His victory over Manchester City provides a more immediate explanation for his cheerful mood. Nevertheless, the temptation to imagine a future PSG–Chelsea showdown is irresistible for fans who enjoy a little drama alongside their football. If another meeting eventually arrives, supporters will undoubtedly revisit these comments and ask whether Enrique’s enthusiasm for English opposition was simply admiration for the competition or an opportunity to settle an old score.
For now, Enrique can celebrate a significant Champions League victory while Manchester City reflect on a night when their second-half fightback could not erase the damage of the first. His remarks have also handed football fans an entertaining question: which English club would he most like to face next? Chelsea may feature prominently in the jokes, but only a future encounter could turn speculation about revenge into another genuine football story.
