Paris Saint-Germain won 4-0 against Atalanta this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in Matchday 1 of the 2025-2026 Champions League. After this victory, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to Canal+.
Luis Enrique: “It was difficult, we had to prepare well for the match.”
Did you enjoy the evening from both the top and the bottom?
That’s not important; the important thing is to see a team that has the joy of playing a very good match. This is the start of this competition, and we’re very happy.
Are you happy with the team’s progress over the past six weeks?
Today was for me. It was difficult in the opening minutes. We had to manage the pressure, but I think we faced a lot of challenges. It was difficult; we had to prepare well for the match and put in a good performance to overcome this great team.
Luis Enrique: “Our fans are happy too, and it was a very good night.”
What do you mean when you say: we need to surprise our opponents even more?
With the quality of our players, there are no surprises; we’re just trying to improve a few phases of play. With the quality of our players, we can create a lot of things, and that’s what we continue to do, and that’s great. It’s also great for our fans, and it was a very good night.”
Luis Enrique: “We have to wait and see what the doctor says.”
The penalty and Joao Neves’ injury, the downsides?
I think the injury was a bit unexpected. We have to wait to see what the doctor says. Regarding the penalty, we should ask Barcola, not the coach (laughs).
