OM v PSG: Enrique reveals the key to the Classico | OneFootball

Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (1st), was at a press conference this Saturday ahead of facing Olympique de Marseille (7th) at the Stade Vélodrome tomorrow (kick-off at 8:45 pm, broadcast on Ligue1+) as part of the 5th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. On the sidelines of this event, the Spaniard also spoke to PSG TV.

Enrique: “We lived up to our supporters.”

What did you appreciate about your players against Atalanta?

“I think it was a very complete match. We managed to overcome pressure where they had three players against one. But we had a very good first half. I think we deserved this victory. In the second half, they defended deeper, but that’s normal. We lived up to our supporters.”

Enrique: “I felt this connection between the supporters and the team.”

Matches against Marseille are always intense; you favor calmness. Is that essential for a trip to the Vélodrome?

“Normally, when you arrive at a very important match, when everyone is nervous, for me, you have to manage that pressure. In this kind of match, the most important thing is the mind. We were lucky to receive the energy from the supporters at the stadium. That’s very important.

Today, we were able to receive this energy and in this way, we’re preparing for the match in the best possible way. Winning trophies is important, but nothing compares to the joy of the supporters. Making them proud. I feel that in Paris, everyone says thank you to me. Since I arrived here, I have felt this connection between the supporters and the team.”
