Monaco v PSG: Luis Enrique backs his team and reveals their mindset | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (2nd in Ligue 1), was at a press conference this Monday ahead of facing AS Monaco (8th) at Stade Louis II tomorrow (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+) as part of the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League play-off (second leg on Wednesday, February 25). On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Luis Enrique: “Football doesn’t work like that.”

How is the mentality within the squad?

It’s always difficult to deal with defeat. But you have to analyze deeply, and I can say that we created as many chances as we did against Marseille. We won 5-0 then, this time we lost. It’s tough. What we want, just like the supporters, is to win every match and score lots of goals. But football doesn’t work like that.

Luis Enrique: “Now is the time to perform.”

What difference does it make to face a French club?

For us, nothing. Because our mentality is not to think about anything else, the important thing is tomorrow’s match. We’re going to play it with an attacking mindset. There’s a very good team, with players of a very high level. We know them. It’s complicated to think about the Champions League against a French club, it’s different. But now is the time to perform.

A message for the supporters?

They are incredible, it’s a real pleasure to have their support. We still feel like we need to give even more energy to win. Their support is unwavering.
