Someone was really angry there. At the press conference after the CL defeat against Sporting, Luis Enrique really let loose: "We lost because football is crap."

You can see his entire rant here in the video.

The PSG coach wasn't angry with his players, but rather with the way the opponent won the match 2-1. "You can see how unfair the sport can be," Enrique continued. 

In a conversation with 'Canal+', he made it clear what particularly bothered him: "We were clearly superior to an opponent that certainly had quality. They defended well, but it is extremely frustrating and unfair. In such moments, it's hard for me to talk about football at all."

He said it was his team's best away game of the season and praised his players for their performance. The result was "disappointing, unfair, and simply a disgrace, because over the entire 90 minutes I only saw one team on the pitch."

Despite the defeat, PSG remains among the top eight in the Champions League and can qualify directly for the round of 16 next week.
