Afterwards, Enrique said:  "The biggest worry this week was managing the nerves, because there was too much pressure and I tried to lower it to play good football.

"It usually happens that you play bad football in the finals, Inter are a great team but we also did a great job defensively starting with (Ousmane) Dembélé who I feel like mentioning."

Asked about winning the Treble a year after waving goodbye to Kylian Mbappe, Enrique added: "We did this to try a new path without Kylian, who wanted to go to Real Madrid.

"We approached it involving top-level players to help the team grow and those who arrived made the team take a leap in quality."
