Paris Saint-Germain beat Lens on penalties (1-1 in normal time) this Sunday at Stade Bollaert in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France 2024-2025. After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke to PSG TV about his side’s qualification and performance.

Enrique: “A great victory that allows us to spend Christmas with our families”.

“I think it was a very hard-fought match, difficult for both teams. We carried the weight of the match. We may have lacked a bit of physical freshness, but I think the team was always in the game, competitive and, of course, winning on penalties is also good for team morale.

Matvey Safonov was very good. He was very effective. The four penalty-takers were also very determined. And I repeat, it’s a very nice victory that allows us to spend Christmas with our families, to enjoy what lies ahead in January, the competitions that await us, and I’m very happy with the effort put in by the whole team.”

This last match before the short winter break is always difficult to play. Inevitably, a certain amount of slackness can lead to mistakes and defeat. In the end, even though the Parisian club were never able to make the breakthrough in this match, they managed to qualify. It was a close contest, but winning away from home is a difficult task.

The most important thing in this match is to qualify, no matter what. The French Cup is always one of this team’s objectives, so it was imperative to qualify. The players can now make the most of the few days’ break, before tackling a complicated January with decisive matches on the European stage.
