We are the league of farmers’ – PSG head coach Luis Enrique pokes fun after knocking Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal out of the Champions League

 

Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach, Luis Enrique, couldn’t resist a cheeky dig after his team knocked out Premier League sides Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal on their way to the Champions League final.

 

With a smirk, the Spanish boss quipped, “I guess we are the ‘league of farmers’ now,” referencing the long-standing joke about Ligue 1 being a less competitive “farmers’ league” compared to the Premier League. His comment came after PSG’s dominant performances against England’s best, proving that French football can more than hold its own on Europe’s biggest stage.

 

Enrique’s humor carries a sharp point—PSG’s success has silenced critics who dismiss Ligue 1 as a one-team competition. With Kylian Mbappé leading the charge and a well-drilled squad under Enrique’s guidance, the Parisians have shown that talent and tactical brilliance matter more than the league’s reputation.

 

As the Champions League final approaches, one thing is clear: the so-called “farmers” are harvesting victories against Europe’s elite. Maybe it’s time to rethink those old stereotypes.
