Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (3rd), held a press conference this Monday ahead of facing Sporting Portugal (14th) at the José Alvalade Stadium tomorrow (kick-off at 9pm) as part of the 7th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.
Luis Enrique: “It’s also a motivation.”
What’s the team like and what’s their mentality?
I think we’re coming into our competition; we’re the current champions. We’re coming into a very good period, with the possibility of taking 3 points to secure qualification for the Round of 16. It will be difficult; we know the atmosphere in this magnificent stadium. But it’s also a motivation.
Luis Enrique: “They have 10 points in the Champions League, which is only 3 less than us.”
What are you expecting from tomorrow’s match?
I think it will be a complicated match against a very good team. After in-depth analysis, it will be very difficult. They have quality both with and without the ball. They’re a team that won the league and the cup last season. They have 10 points in the Champions League, which is only 3 less than us. There will be a lot of motivation to play a very good match in an atmosphere against us.
