Form
PSG
Enrique’s side has won all five of their recent matches across all competitions, with their most impressive displays coming in the Ligue 1 campaign, where they currently sit second, just one point behind leaders Lens.
Most recently, they earned their first trophy of 2026 after the dramatic Trophée des Champions victory against Marseille, with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier saving two penalties in the shoot-out.
