Enrique’s stance feels unmistakably modern. The old argument for the Ballon d'Or often revolved around a single irresistible superstar. This PSG side appears to offer something slightly different:
That does not end the debate. Other contenders will still have their backers, and international-tournament storylines usually carry weight. But Enrique’s message is clear: if the biggest club prize has gone to PSG, why should the biggest individual honour land elsewhere?
There is also something revealing in how Enrique framed it. Rather than isolating one player and building a campaign around him, he pointed to the dressing room as a whole. That fits the identity PSG have tried to build under him: less about celebrity, more about structure, pressing and shared responsibility.
The report also says PSG are preparing for their first home game of the season at the Parc des Princes, with Enrique expected to keep the core of last season’s strongest side intact. If that proves correct, it would be another signal that continuity matters as much as star power.
The next step is simple: turn the argument into another performance. If PSG shine again at home, the Ballon d'Or conversation around Enrique’s squad is only likely to grow louder.
