In the 23rd round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted FC Metz at the Parc des Princes and won 3-0. After the match, Luis Enrique, the club’s coach, spoke to PSG TV about the result.
Enrique: “I think we played seriously.”
“It’s a great victory. Everyone might think it’s easy to win against the bottom-ranked team, but that’s not the case at all. I think we played seriously, as this match demanded. We’re very happy; we started the match very well by scoring the first goal, and we deserved this victory.
What hasn’t changed is the atmosphere at the Parc: it’s fantastic. I think that’s one of our team’s strengths. Today, all the players who played showed their level, their ability to play the way we need them to.” I think the performance of all the players was important.
Facing the bottom-ranked team in the league, PSG had to win. Even though no match in football is easy, Luis Enrique’s men quickly made things easier for themselves by opening the scoring early in the game. After RC Lens’ defeat against AS Monaco, the Parisians knew they had the opportunity to reclaim first place in the standings.
This victory has done just that, and it also allows them to prepare for the Champions League playoff second leg, which will take place this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. A successful evening, then, for PSG, who have managed to build up some more confidence by regaining their position at the top of the table.
