Yes. It should be noted that in this season's Champions League, PSG was not favored to win the UCL at the beginning, the favorites were Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich because the final was held at home. PSG's chances were very small, especially after they were ranked lower in the league phase so PSG had to fight hard to get into the last 16 because they had to go through the play-off round. Not only that, after going through the play-off round, PSG was also not favored, well after defeating Liverpool, PSG began to appear to rise and many predicted they would enter the final.

What I mean is, PSG this season was actually not favored to win the Champions League, but in the end they were the champions. Of course this was a surprise and for PSG their journey to win the UCL trophy for the first time this season was a beautiful journey. Every year they are always said to be a team that has no mentality but this season under Enrique they have proven that they have the mentality to be in the Champions League. Next season they will be the favorites again because their performance under Enrique has been very impressive.

But funny enough I didn't even rate Liverpool to win the champions league even when my Liverpool friend was boosting that they will lift the trophy, sitting his argument that they had a better group stage games. Champions League games only starts when the teams has reached knockout stages, that's when the real competition starts and Liverpool won't go far. Bayern Munich too I didn't rate high apart from from Real Madrid that I rated high even when I knew they had injured defence problem, their track record spoke for them, so I rated them high but I said, they were going to lose against PSG is they met that period, I never knew Arsenal were going to eliminate them. For the record, PSG was my favourite team to lift the trophy that was why I started supporting them from match day 6.
