Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-3 to Nice (vvideo highlights PSG/Nice) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1 2024-2025. Speaking to PSG TV, Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique reflected on the result.
Enrique «C’est comme ça le football, tu dois accepter le résultat quand tu n’es pas efficace.»
“What I can say is that we’re frustrated at the moment. Soccer is like that. You have to accept the result, congratulate Nice because they were very effective, but in the end, I think we deserved to win.
Today’s performance was very good, but the result shows something different. That’s how soccer is, you have to accept the result when you’re not effective. I think today’s result is unfair, but we have to think about recovering and thinking about the London game. We’ll be ready, that’s for sure.”
Of course, we can’t say that PSG had a bad game on Friday. It’s just that it’s very difficult to compete when you’ve got a goalkeeper who works miracles and, on the other hand, you come out of the game with three goals conceded from just three shots on target. As Luis Enrique says, “that’s soccer”.
Unfortunately, it’s also difficult to play teams who are playing out their season in these final Ligue 1 fixtures, when you have to take your foot off the gas with a view to the Champions League. The imbalance can be seen, but it shouldn’t lead us to draw conclusions about PSG’s current level.
The fixture is on Tuesday, so it’s pointless at this stage to make predictions based on results distorted by a context that doesn’t encourage PSG to give 200% in a league match that’s already largely won.
