Paris Saint-Germain hosted Olympique de Marseille this Sunday to close out Matchday 21 of Ligue 1 and won 5-0. Speaking to PSG TV after the match, Luis Enrique discussed the result and his players’ performance.
Enrique: “Before the match, we knew how important it was for them to win this game.”
“We are very happy. First of all, I would like to thank our fans because the atmosphere was incredible. It’s beautiful and very positive when we play at the Parc des Princes. As I was saying to Rafel (Pol) before the match, we are used to this kind of atmosphere, but it’s incredible. Before the match, we knew how important it was for them to win this game. I think the team showed what it strives to demonstrate in every match. It’s a victory for them!”
Enrique: “We wanted to show the level our team is capable of.”
“I still need to watch the match, but Ousmane’s second goal was incredible, and Kvara’s too. But rather than focusing on their individual performances, I think the team pressed together very aggressively. We wanted to show the level our team is capable of, and I think that will be important for the team’s confidence. Tomorrow, we continue. We have to train and prepare for the upcoming league match, as well as the Champions League.”
A great victory for PSG, who easily won their home derby against an OM team that was completely outclassed. Luis Enrique’s men have switched into champion mode, and finally, we see the team that shone so brightly last season and made its mark on history. Winning a derby like this at home is a performance that will be etched in the minds of all the fans.
The players understood the importance of this match and delivered a phenomenal performance. There’s nothing more to say than bravo. From the intensity and pressing to the creation of chances, everything was perfect this Sunday evening. It’s also a clear message sent to the competition. While PSG may have experienced some difficulties, this Sunday showed that their 2025 version is still alive and well and that they are ready to begin the most important part of their season.
