PSG Coach Values Champions League Glory Above Perfect Domestic Season
In a recent press conference, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique made it clear that he would gladly trade an undefeated Ligue 1 season for a spot in the Champions League final. The Spanish coach emphasized the team’s priority on winning titles rather than setting records.
Enrique stated, “If someone could guarantee that losing to Nice would secure us a place in the Champions League final, I’d agree without hesitation. However, since that’s not possible, and given our team’s ambition and ability to maintain our unbeaten streak, it’s crucial for our confidence to give our all against Arsenal.”
PSG recently drew 1-1 with Nantes, fielding a rotated squad. Despite this, the Parisian club remains undefeated in the league this season, having won 24 matches and drawn six out of 30 games played. With six fixtures left, PSG has already clinched their 13th Ligue 1 title, setting a new record.
As the team prepares for their upcoming Champions League clash with Arsenal, Enrique’s comments highlight PSG’s unwavering focus on European success. The coach’s willingness to potentially sacrifice domestic perfection underscores the immense importance placed on Champions League glory by the French giants.
