After PSG’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, PSG boss Luis Enrique didn’t hold back in his post-match comments, taking a pointed dig at Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes.
“They clearly attempted to rob us today! I still can’t believe FIFA could stoop this low in a match of this magnitude… we thought it was just a mistake, but it was more,” Enrique said, visibly frustrated.
But beyond the officiating, he sent a direct warning to Mikel Arteta: “If Arteta doesn’t wake up, Chelsea will outshine Arsenal. He must fix these three things if he wants to win the league.”
Sign a Ruthless Striker
“Arsenal are pretty, but not deadly,” Enrique said. “They need a striker who creates chaos, seizes half-chances, and finishes mercilessly — just like Chelsea had today.”
Improve Squad Rotation & Mentality
“Chelsea stayed fresh despite a long season. Arsenal fade late on. Arteta must rotate better and build a squad that can endure the entire campaign.”
Be Bolder in Big Matches
“Arteta respects big teams too much. At Anfield or Etihad, Arsenal play cautiously. That must change. You win titles by taking control, not by playing not to lose.”
Enrique’s brutally honest assessment is sparking debate, but the message is clear: Arsenal’s admired project must now deliver silverware — or risk being left behind by Chelsea’s resurgence.
