Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (2nd), held a press conference this Tuesday ahead of facing Athletic Bilbao (27th) at the San Mamés Stadium tomorrow (kick-off at 9pm, CET) as part of the 6th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.
Luis Enrique: “You’ll see tomorrow what it’s like here, the fans, the team, the pressure.”
Did the match against Rennes boost your confidence?
Every win is important for the team’s mentality. As usual, we’re missing some players. But we’re used to it, and it’s a strength we have as a team.
What are the keys to facing Bilbao?
You’ll see tomorrow what it’s like here, the fans, the team, the pressure. They only have 4 points, but you’ll see how difficult it is tomorrow. They play with intensity; they know how to play football very well.
Luis Enrique: “I hope that with the ball we can change this dynamic a bit.”
Is intensity their greatest strength?
It’s a club with a unique history. You’ll see the connection between the fans and the team, as well as their technical level and the intensity of their pressing. I hope that with the ball we can change this dynamic a bit.
