PSG’s victory this Wednesday pushed FC Nantes a little deeper into the crisis. Penultimate in the championship, the legendary club of the French championship seems to be heading towards almost inevitable relegation. Questioned at a press conference, Luis Enrique did not seem particularly affected by the situation in Nantes.
“It’s classic. In all championships, there are always teams with an important history but in difficulty. That’s how high-level football is, but it’s true that when you go to Nantes, when you play away, with this stadium and all this atmosphere, it’s special, it’s special. And there are also teams in Ligue 2, which I would like to see in Ligue 1, like Saint-Étienne which is also a historic club. I have never played against Saint-Étienne. Or Bordeaux too. There are a lot of teams looking to return to Ligue 1 and it’s a shame for those teams who can’t. But that’s how it is, you have to accept it. »
