On the sidelines of Tuesday’s press conference to discuss tomorrow’s 2024-2025 French Cup Round of 16 match against FC Espaly at Stade Marcel-Michelin (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on beIN SPORTS), Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique was interviewed by PSG TV. He spoke about Sunday’s Ligue 1 win over Saint-Etienne, this special encounter and how to approach it.
Luis Enrique “It’s magic, with opponents in different categories. It’s lovely.”
What do you remember about Sunday’s victory over Saint-Etienne?
I think it was a difficult match, because Saint-Etienne had the mentality and the ability to play aggressively. But we did very well. We played a great game and we’re happy.
Tomorrow is the magic of the Coupe de France?
It’s a competition we love, because it brings back very good memories. It’s magic, with opponents from different categories. It’s nice.
A different preparation against a team with less media coverage?
In my opinion, our team is in a good moment and we have to keep thinking with the same mentality of playing each match as a final. That’s the most positive thing we have.
