Luis Enrique took aim at criticism of Ligue 1 after his Paris Saint-Germain side dumped Arsenal out of the Champions League to reach the final.
PSG earned a 2-1 victory over the Gunners in the second leg of their semi-final on Tuesday, sealing a 3-1 aggregate triumph.
The result also completed a dominant set of results for PSG against English opposition in this season's competition.
The French champions had already knocked out Liverpool and Aston Villa in the last-16 and quarter-finals, before going on to end English representation by eliminating Arsenal.
