Press review: Luis Enrique must find the winning formula for Monaco v PSG | OneFootball

This Monday, February 16, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoff this Tuesday against AS Monaco (return leg on Wednesday, February 25). Notably, there is the mission for coach Luis Enrique to find the right tools to have a group that is once again consistent and effective.

Of course, PSG cannot be completely satisfied with their season. There have been too many setbacks, and the current 2nd place in Ligue 1 does not meet the objective. However, everyone knew this season would be more complicated, and Lens has added particularly fierce competition for the title, with Olympique Lyonnais joining in after a very impressive series of results.

But Paris is not at rock bottom or lost. There are still strong foundations in their play, and the dominance was still there in Rennes, even if they lacked control. And, most importantly, effectiveness. The formula must be found to get the finishing back on track. This might involve discussions with the players, perhaps some choices. It's not about panicking or changing everything.

The stability in the squad, heavily criticized since last summer, is not senseless for a European champion. Not to forget, as is often repeated, that players who would improve the group must also be available. It is known that the idea exists that a successful transfer window involves numerous signings; however, we have seen several clubs make many signings and not be more convincing. Liverpool is a perfect example. Let's allow PSG to play out the rest of their season before judging.
