It’s absolutely fantastic to have the best players on the planet representing your football club. However, sometimes these stars can have an adverse impact on the dressing room, resulting in an overall decline on the pitch.

In the eyes of Steven Gerrard, when Luis Enrique took on the reins at the Parc des Princes, the squad was full of this type of personality. However, the Liverpudlian believes that the gaffer dispatched of these individuals and placed massive importance on giving the next generation an opportunity to showcase their skills at the highest level.

During the TNT Sports broadcast, the Premier League icon, explained: “A couple of years back, he had a lot of star names in his team, a lot of prima donnas — I say that respectfully — egos, players that don’t really wanna, roll the sleeves up and run hard for the team, they only really want to play in possession. This guy doesn’t have it. He pushed them all aside, brought a load of young kids through, he recruited extremely well, and he’s built a team on a lot of real good principles and values. This team could potentially dominate for years to come — they’re that good.”

PSG will go head-to-head with Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30, at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
