Cup Áttekintés

The Argentine legend on his former manager: "He was born to be a champion."

Paris Saint-Germain have cemented their place in the pantheon of footballing greats after successfully defending their European crown against Arsenal. The French giants have achieved a feat of dominance rarely seen in the history of the sport, matching a record that has stood for over half a century.

Luis Enrique has long been known as one of the most demanding tactical minds in world football, but former Barcelona midfielder Rafinha has now lifted the lid on the sheer intensity of the Spaniard's regime. The Brazilian-born playmaker, who worked under Enrique at both Celta Vigo and Camp Nou, admits that the manager's approach to fitness was nothing short of extreme during his early coaching days.

FC Barcelona remains the dominant club in this early stage of the transfer window. The Spanish champions' hierarchy is now weighing a move for former Bundesliga defender Piero Hincapie, currently of Arsenal FC, to strengthen their back line.
