Paris Saint-Germain defeated Chelsea 5-2 this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 tie (second leg on March 17). After the victory, PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke to Canal+.
Luis Enrique: “We’re always on the attack”
What made you most proud tonight?
I think a little bit of everything. We had some difficult moments, but the atmosphere in the stadium was incredible. The connection with our fans is fantastic. We can play poorly, well, or very well, we’re a team that fights all the time, we’re always on the attack, so this is a very good result.
Luis Enrique: “You normally analyze all the results”
There have been doubts from the outside. Haven’t you?
In general? Or just tonight? It depends. You normally analyze all the results, and that’s normal, I can understand that. But what I can say is that throughout the season, the team is constantly striving to improve.
Right now, in this competition, we’re looking to improve, and we played this type of match during the group stage. Today, we showed that every time we scored, they came back to draw, but we continued to play the same way, and in the end, we were lucky enough to win this match 5-2. I repeat, there’s still one match left.
Luis Enrique: “We’re going to try to win the next match.”
Are you worried about the second leg?
Coaches, we’re always worried (smiles). We’re going to try to win the next match; that’s our idea and our mentality, but it will be difficult, a complicated, and close match.
