The Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke to the media this Tuesday, on the eve of the match against Lorient (Wednesday, 7 p.m.).
This spring is particularly exciting for Paris Saint-Germain. Already winner of the Champions Trophy, the capital club is still in the running for a fantastic quadruple as it prances at the top of Ligue 1 while being qualified for the final of the Coupe de France (where it will face Olympique Lyonnais ) and the semi-finals of the Champions League (which will see him challenge Borussia Dortmund).
As for the championship, everything could be completed on Wednesday evening. If Paris wins in Lorient and Monaco fails to beat Lille in the evening, Kylian Mbappé and his men will be crowned champions of France.
Luis Enrique’s confession about Ligue 1
For Luis Enrique, this title is not trivial. The Spanish coach has often shown his ego in front of journalists, but he admits to having underestimated the value of Ligue 1. “ If I have to place this title among the others, I would say that we underestimate the French Championship abroad, he conceded. There are very good teams, with very good players and coaches. I repeat, we are far superior to the other teams in my opinion, but I was positively surprised by the physical, tactical and technical level of Ligue 1.
“ Due to our history and our squad, we are favorites, clearly, however recognized Luis Enrique. But not everyone manages to do it every year, especially with so many matches in advance. Football is a sport that can hold surprises. Since day one, I have said that we are the favorites, with the best squad, the biggest budget and a certain gap. It’s almost an obligation, but I find it positive that we managed to do it by being superior to our opponents and deserving our victories. It’s a satisfaction as a coach“, concluded the PSG coach.
