"I am not here to win the Champions League. I am here to build a team."
These were the words of Luis Enrique, eight months ago at the start of the 2024-25 season. It was the beginning of Year 1 of his Paris Saint-Germain project: a post-Kylian Mbappé era, a policy of no big egos and no big stars, and a new journey with a young, talented and malleable squad.
His words sounded like revolution for a club created by superstars, made for superstars and run by superstars. It felt like one, too, and heading into Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal against Aston Villa, it's fair to say that the evolution of the revolution is much ahead of schedule.
