PSG: critics of finishing overlook the stats | OneFootball

At 55 years old, Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, continues to pile up statistical evidence of his team’s effectiveness. According to the statistic shared by Stats Foot after OGC Nice/PSG, the Spanish coach has reached 393 goals in 161 official matches, surpassing the previous total set by Laurent Blanc, which was 391 in 173 games.

This record is delightfully teasing for all those who almost mechanically bring the Parisian debate back to an alleged problem of efficiency. Because the numbers don’t quibble: Luis Enrique has just done better than Laurent Blanc, and in fewer matches. That doesn’t mean PSG has always been perfect in the final move, nor that every match has looked like a demonstration.

But in the end, 393 goals in 161 official matches tell the story of a team capable of producing, persisting, and ultimately breaking the club’s historical records. In short, the pitch gently reminds us that the ongoing trial for inefficiency becomes a bit harder to sustain when Paris is moving at this pace.
