In the 23rd round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted FC Metz at the Parc des Princes and won 3-0. Following the match, Lucas Hernandez, the Parisian club’s full-back, spoke to PSG TV after the victory.
Hernandez: “Even though we were winning 2-0, we wanted to keep scoring goals.”
“It’s true that it was a very important match. We saw that Lens had lost their game, and therefore that we had the opportunity to take back the top spot in the league. We were aware of that and we rose to the occasion! The third goal? Since the start of the season, one of our strengths has been our pressing. Even though we were winning 2-0, we wanted to keep scoring goals. We pressed high, and I was fortunate enough to win the ball back well for Gonçalo, who scored the third goal.” “It was a great match from everyone.”
After RC Lens’ defeat against AS Monaco, PSG knew that a victory was crucial this Saturday to regain the top spot in the league. Approaching the match with focus and determination, Luis Enrique’s men were able to quickly take the lead and give their opponents no chance.
This victory allows the Parisians to build confidence ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League playoff second leg against AS Monaco. A near-perfect evening, then, for Luis Enrique and his squad, who once again demonstrated their determination to shine in the remaining competitions.
