Luis Enrique Joins Elite Company with Second Continental Treble

In a feat that places him among football’s managerial immortals, Luis Enrique has once again etched his name into football history.

After guiding Paris Saint-Germain to a stunning treble in the 2024/25 season—winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, and the UEFA Champions League—the Spanish coach becomes only the second manager to achieve two continental trebles with two different clubs.

The only other to do it? Pep Guardiola.

Treble Triumph: A Decade Apart, Two European Giants

Luis Enrique first claimed a treble in 2014/15 with FC Barcelona, leading a side stacked with talent—Messi, Neymar, and Suárez—to La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League title. That Barcelona team is still remembered as one of the most complete and thrilling squads in modern history.

Ten years later, he has done it again. This time, with Paris Saint-Germain.

In 2025, Enrique’s PSG lifted the Ligue 1 trophy in dominant fashion, followed by a Coupe de France victory over Lyon, and then emphatically sealed the treble with a 5–0 demolition of Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

With this achievement, Enrique joins Guardiola as the only managers to have led two different clubs to treble-winning seasons.

Guardiola accomplished his first with Barcelona in 2008/09 and followed it up years later with Manchester City’s historic treble in 2022/23.

The paths of both men share a striking similarity—not just in trophies, but in footballing philosophy, squad development, and the ability to thrive under intense pressure in Europe’s elite competitions.

Master of Identity and Innovation

Enrique’s tactical evolution was on full display this season. Blending experienced leadership with young, emerging talents like Désiré Doué and Senny Mayulu, his PSG side was balanced, brave, and bold.

What set Enrique apart wasn’t just the winning—it was the way his team played. Fluid attacking transitions, disciplined pressing, and flexible formations made PSG one of the most feared and admired teams across Europe.

It’s also worth noting that Enrique achieved this success with a squad in transition—rebuilding its identity after years of Champions League heartbreak. Under his guidance, they found clarity, unity, and historic glory.

A Legacy Sealed

Winning a continental treble is considered one of the most difficult feats in football. Doing it once is special. Doing it twice, with two different clubs in two different leagues and cultures, elevates a manager into a different realm entirely.

With this second treble, Luis Enrique has confirmed his status as one of the greatest managers of his generation. He stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of Guardiola, Ferguson, Ancelotti, and Mourinho—not just for the silverware, but for his vision, courage, and consistency at the highest level.
