Luis Enrique was delighted to have prepared for the Champions League final in ideal fashion after Paris Saint-Germain won the Coupe de .

A week before they face Inter in a bid to win the club’s first and long-sought-after European Cup, PSG made light work of Reims in a 3-0 win at the Stade de .

PSG scored all of their goals in the first half, with Bradley Barcola netting twice before Achraf Hakimi got in on the act.

It means PSG will now head to Munich hoping to hunt down a treble.

“It was a very good match. We prepared for the final on the 31st in the best way,” Luis Enrique told BeIN Sports.

“This [Champions League] final is important. We want to make history. We’re ready. We are a real team and we want to get trophies.

“The Champions League final will be a special moment for everyone. There is no special preparation.

“We will have to deal with a lot of pressure, but we have to prepare for it in the best way. It’s not easy to manage everything around the team.”

It was a routine victory for PSG, who had 20 shots and accumulated 2.84 expected goals (xG) to Reims’ 0.14.

Luis Enrique has now clinched the domestic treble in his first two seasons at the club, a period in which PSG has moved away from the star-studded sides of the past, a tactic that may well lead them to their ultimate goal.

“We are a young team but with experience, with the desire to know what we want to do on the pitch,” Luis Enrique said.

“We hope to celebrate the Champions League.”

Luis Enrique is now aiming to become only the second coach to win a treble of a league title, major domestic trophy and the European Cup/Champions League with two different clubs, after Pep Guardiola.

“We have three of the four titles that we can win, and we’re on the last step. I hope we can make PSG history,” he told reporters.

“The team showed a lot of commitment and all that is preparing us for the match we are expecting, which will be decisive and which can allow us to make history.”
