Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to DAZN for the second time after the 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich (video highlights PSG/Bayern Munich) this Saturday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup.
Luis Enrique: “We rose to the occasion and deserved to win this match.”
Are you proud of your players?
Of course, and I think not only am I proud, but many fans also see how we approach matches. We rose to the occasion and deserved to win this match. At the same time, I must say it was a very difficult and close match because we were facing a very good team.
Is the victory with the red cards a positive thing for the future compared to what you did with 9 or 10 men, or do you need to correct all of this for the future?
I think we’re a team that plays without violence. We want to play good football, but when you have to defend against a team with one or even two players less, it’s practically impossible. The last part of the match was very difficult.
Luis Enrique: “I think you’re driven by results because that’s your job.”
Have your players taken a mental leap this season?
I’m not impressed. I think you’re driven by results because that’s your job, but for me, Bayern Munich played a very good game and could have won. We played a very good game too, but nothing special, it’s business as usual.
