Since the arrival of Luis Enrique on the bench in Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023, the capital's club has changed its face. True to his philosophy, the Spanish technician has instilled a new dynamic, placing the collective at the center of the Parisian project.

The objective of these adjustments? Compensate for the absence of “stars” such as Kylian Mbappé, who left for Real Madrid last July, and strengthen the team as a whole. And seven months later, the results of the defending French champions seem to prove him right.

In the Coupe de France, the Parisians validated their ticket for the quarter-finals after a controlled victory against Le Mans (2-0) on Tuesday. As for the Champions League, after a more complicated start, the Red and Blue seem to have crossed a milestone, like their success against Manchester City (4-2) at the Parc des Princes, followed by a new recital Against Stuttgart (4-1), which allowed them to win their place for the round of 16. Results that reinforce Luis Enrique in his choices, as he entrusted to a press conference before the reception of AS Monaco this Friday in the league.

“I was very courageous last season when I told you that you would have a better attack and a better defense. I continue to think that we are better in attack and defense, the figures are there to say it. The players took it as a challenge. Of course we wanted to keep Kylian, because everyone loved Kyky, but the team responds very positively, at a spectacular level. I told you that rather than having a player who scores 40 goals, I wanted players who all score a lot. This is our goal, continue to improve us. Faced with a situation that we did not want but which happened, the maturity of the team is very good ”said Lucho.
