Marseille/PSG – Luis Enrique happy but tired after Le Classique

In the final match of Ligue 1’s 5th round, Paris Saint-Germain traveled to face Olympique de Marseille and came away with a 1-2 win (video highlights here). Speaking to PSG TV, Luis Enrique, the capital club’s coach, commented on the victory after the match.

Luis Enrique: “The second half was much better than the first.”

“A Classique is exhausting! But I’m very happy. Some people thought it was going to be easy, I didn’t. Today, we once again saw how difficult it is to play in a Classique, and how hard it is to play away from home, as always, especially at the Vélodrome. But I think we played a very good match. The second half was much better than the first. We tried to improve compared to the first half and create a lot of chances. We managed to do that, and we’re very happy to take these three points, which we know are important for our supporters.”

A fine win for PSG, who claimed an away victory in the first Classique of the season. The first half was probably more difficult than expected. The capital club was on top, but still failed to create any clear-cut chances. Sitting deep at the back, Marseille held firm, and even managed to threaten on the counterattack.

They also managed to get back into the match shortly after Paris opened the scoring, before conceding a second goal rather quickly. So overall, it was a successful outing for PSG, who are gradually building momentum. The first international break will do them good before they return to action for a busy October split between the Champions League and the league.
