In an exclusive interview with L’Equipe ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal, the only man to have managed both clubs offered a unique and insightful perspective on the tactical and cultural revolutions that have propelled each side to the pinnacle of European competition.\n\nEmery, who led PSG between 2016 and 2018 before taking the reins at Arsenal for the 2018-19 campaign, did not hold back in his praise for his Spanish compatriot. “Luis Enrique has completely transformed PSG,” he declared, stressing the former Barcelona coach’s ability to foster genuine team unity while imposing a distinct, high-intensity playing style. “His capacity to create sympathy is fantastic, he has a lot of personality,” Emery noted, underlining how the Parisians have evolved from a collection of individuals to a synchronized machine. The departure from the so-called ‘galáctico’ era is now complete; in its place stands a collective where Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Vitinha shine not as stars but as integral components of a system that prioritizes pressing, fluidity, and relentless forward motion.\n\nTurning to his other former club, Emery acknowledged Arsenal’s remarkable progress under Mikel Arteta, culminating in their recent Premier League triumph. “Arsenal is improving more and more. They have invested a lot, recruited very good players, and Arteta has accumulated vast experience,” he explained. The Basque coach dismissed any suggestion that the Gunners’ success relies on defensive solidity and set-piece prowess. “They play brilliantly,” he insisted, brushing off the tag with a laugh. “It’s a question of playing brilliantly or not. And at Arsenal, they play brilliantly.” He conceded that fatigue might have affected certain players during the long season, but overall, the team’s performance—juggling domestic and continental commitments—was “fantastic.”\n\nEmery’s vantage point is enriched by his current project at Aston Villa, where he has just delivered a historic fifth Europa League title and a top-four Premier League finish. His experience in the English top flight—which he describes as “the most difficult league in the world, with the best coaches, teams, and players”—adds weight to his assessment of Arsenal’s dual success. For Emery, the Gunners’ capacity to conquer England while navigating Europe is a testament to their tactical maturity and mental resilience.\n\nWhen asked to predict a favorite, Emery wavered not. “It’s 50\u002F50,” he stated, refusing to separate two teams he holds in high esteem. He expressed genuine happiness for PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, whom he called “very respectful,” and for captain Marquinhos, the sole survivor from his tenure. “I am also happy for Luis Enrique because he deserves it,” he added, hinting at the often-overlooked personal connections that survive managerial changes.\n\nThe interview also shed light on the broader success of Spanish coaches in Europe. Emery attributed this to a single-minded devotion to the game. “Luis Enrique always succeeds. Why? Because he is a great competitor and he loves football. His life is mainly focused on football, and he is concentrated on that,” he said. Similarly, he praised Arteta’s learning curve under Pep Guardiola and his subsequent decision to “give his life to football.” When the conversation turned to his own accomplishments, Emery responded with characteristic humility: “No, I am lucky. I have always been lucky.”\n\nThis Champions League final represents more than a trophy. For PSG, it is a chance to cement a dynasty just one year after their maiden final appearance; for Arsenal, it marks a return to Europe’s elite for the first time in two decades, completing an extraordinary revival under Arteta. Emery’s verdict on the stylistic debate underscores a modern football truth: the best teams are adaptable, capable of dominating possession while remaining lethal on the counter and from dead-ball situations.\n\nThe transformation Emery highlights at PSG is not merely tactical. It signifies the end of an era defined by superstar individualism and the beginning of what many hope is a sustainable, youth-driven philosophy. Luis Enrique’s insistence on collective responsibility, high pressing, and positional fluidity has not only elevated individual performers but also created a cohesive unit that looks invincible at times. This, combined with the injection of raw talent like Kvaratskhelia, has made PSG the benchmark.\n\nSimilarly, Arsenal’s journey under Arteta has been one of cultural overhaul. From the tactical confusion of recent years, the Gunners have emerged as a tactically astute, physically dominant side that can tailor its approach to any opponent. Emery’s observation that Arsenal “play brilliantly” is a nod to their attacking flair, but it also reflects their defensive discipline and game management, often underappreciated by critics.\n\nFor Emery, the final provides a pleasant dilemma. Having contributed to the foundations at both institutions—though his spells at each were marked by unfinished business—he can take a measure of pride in their ascension. His own thriving career at Villa, where he is building a project “to play against the best teams in the world,” proves that patient coaching and institutional backing yield dividends.\n\nAs the football world converges on Budapest, Unai Emery’s words hang in the air: a testament to the belief that transformation, when embraced fully, can turn perennial contenders into champions. His expert eye sees no clear favorite, only two sides that have earned their place through sheer excellence. The stage is set for a classic encounter, and regardless of the outcome, Emery’s assessment will resonate: both clubs have been utterly transformed, and the final is a fitting showcase for their reinvention.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Unai Emery says Luis Enrique's PSG transformation has made them the world's best team before the Champions League final versus his former club Arsenal.","326257546258026496","Manchester City","334789360572436481","326135636794806272","AFC Champions League Elite","327055352249978880","Manchester City vs Aston Villa","2026-05-26T17:58:00Z","emery-luis-enrique-s-psg-transformation-complete","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002F-luis-enrique-a-completement-transforme-le-psg-l-avis-d-expert-d-unai-emery-ancien-entraineur-du-psg-et-d-arsenal\u002F1679085#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545968619520","Arsenal",[79,68,63,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89],"326257565434384384","326222707140071424","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326257536078450688","326257565195309056","326222711682502656",[80,69,64,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98],"Celta Vigo","KV Mechelen","Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Paris Saint Germain","Barcelona","England","Emery: Luis Enrique's PSG Transformation 'Complete'",[101,127,148,165],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":102,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":103,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":104,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":105,"slug":106,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":107,"teamId":108,"teamName":109,"teamIds":110,"teamNames":118,"title":126},"French fans display 'Courage Hugo' banner in support of Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike, who ruptured his Achilles tendon and will miss the World Cup.","338076964512337921","0","2026-06-04T19:50:02Z","hugo-ekitike-injury-courage-hugo-banner-at-france-match","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FLes-supporters-francais-apportent-leur-soutien-a-ekitike-blesse-et-absent-pour-la-coupe-du-monde-courage-hugo\u002F1681882#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545918287872","Liverpool",[108,111,112,113,84,85,86,114,87,115,116,117],"326222711447621632","326222712533946368","326257535994564608","326255041625198592","326257807785463808","326257576805142528","326222707169431552",[109,119,120,121,93,94,95,122,96,123,124,125],"France","Ivory Coast","Nantes","Partizani","Reading","Tune","Anderlecht","Hugo Ekitike Injury: 'Courage Hugo' Banner at France Match",{"awayTeamId":79,"awayTeamName":80,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":128,"homeTeamId":87,"homeTeamName":96,"id":129,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":130,"matchName":131,"publishedAt":132,"slug":133,"sourceName":77,"sourceURL":134,"teamId":112,"teamName":120,"teamIds":135,"teamNames":141,"title":147},"With Saliba injured, Konaté set to start for France vs Côte d'Ivoire on Thursday.
