Newcastle United stun PSG boss Luis Enrique’s family – ‘My God’ so painful

The memories still sting for Luis Enrique. As Paris Saint-Germain prepare for their Champions League semifinal clash against Arsenal, the Spanish manager has revisited one of his most humbling nights in football—PSG’s 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Newcastle United earlier this season.

A new Spanish documentary series, No tenéis ni idea, has pulled back the curtain on Enrique’s turbulent first year in Paris, capturing the raw emotions of that disastrous evening at St James’ Park.

Before the match, the PSG boss had been brimming with confidence, dismissing Newcastle as anything but a “difficult challenge” and instead framing it as a “great opportunity” to take control of their Champions League group.

He even envisioned his side leaving Tyneside victorious, dreaming of topping the so-called “group of death.”

Reality, however, delivered a brutal wake-up call.

As Newcastle dismantled PSG with ruthless efficiency, Enrique’s family watched in horror from their home in Barcelona.

The camera captured wife Elena and their children, Pacho and Sira, squirming in disbelief as the scoreline grew increasingly embarrassing.

“My God. 2-0? It’s not possible,” Pacho muttered in shock at one point. By the time the Magpies netted their fourth, Elena could only exhale in exasperation, whispering, “My dear Luis.”

For Newcastle, that unforgettable night remains a benchmark—proof of what they can achieve when everything clicks.

Currently sitting third in the Premier League, Eddie Howe’s side are fighting to secure another shot at Champions League football next season.

“We’ve got four huge games, four tough games,” Howe acknowledged recently. “But we’ve won 20 of our last 26 matches. That’s an unbelievable record, and we need to maintain that consistency.”

For Enrique, tonight’s trip to the Emirates represents a chance at redemption. PSG arrive as Ligue 1 champions, but the ghosts of their Tyneside humiliation linger.

If they falter against Arsenal, those painful memories will only resurface stronger—a reminder that even Europe’s elite can crumble under the lights of an English fortress.

As for Newcastle? They’ll be watching closely, dreaming of the day they can recreate that magic all over again.
