Luis Enrique has claimed PSG's motivation to retain the Champions League outweighs Arsenal's desire for their first European title, setting up a fascinating psychological battle ahead of Saturday's final.

Chelsea have sacked their sixth manager in under three years as Liam Rosenior's 106-day tenure ends amid record Premier League losses of £262m.
