Luis Enrique responds to the final match between Hakimi and Mbaye
The AFCON 2025 final is officially set, with Morocco and Senegal preparing to clash next Sunday in Rabat, following their victories over Nigeria and Egypt, respectively.
This matchup will carry a unique significance for PSG, as Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye face off on the grandest stage of African football. Before PSG’s match against LOSC, Luis Enrique shared his pleasure in witnessing both players reach the final, emphasizing the pride he takes in their journey and performances throughout the tournament.
Nonetheless, the Spanish coach acknowledged that he is already considering PSG’s interests and their return to Paris. “I’m genuinely proud, as it’s fantastic to witness them in a final, but there’s also the thought of their swift return,” he remarked with a smile.
Luis Enrique, mindful of the physical demands faced by his players in recent months, opted not to send them personal messages, instead allowing them to savor the moment. “Only one can win, but it’s a positive outcome for PSG, for Senegal, and for Morocco,” he concluded, extending his best wishes to both players ahead of the final.
