Present at a press conference before the trip of his family to Lille to challenge Dunkirk as part of the semi-finals of the Coupe de France, Luis Enrique was asked about the lack of competition in Ligue 1 while his team has 21 points ahead of AS Monaco and heads straight for a 13th title of champion of France. Here is his answer.

“I understand that this year, with the difference in points that we have with the second, we break records. It could take a little damage to the image of Ligue 1 but I believe that the level that the French teams showed in the Champions League … This is where the level of L1 is located. A French club can win the Champions League. That there is such a great distance from the second comes from the records, not the level ”.
