PSG under pressure to deliver in Ligue 1 at Brest after 6-1 boost | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain, rampant in Europe yet sluggish domestically, head to Brest on Sunday at 20:45 needing to kick-start their Ligue 1 campaign after taking only two points from three matches.

According to Le Progres, Wednesday’s 6-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava restored belief in Luis Enrique’s attack, though the scoreline is tempered by the Slovak side’s level.

Ousmane Dembélé and team now must replicate that display in the league. PSG are still seeking their first win, after 2-2 draws at Rennes then Lille, and a 2-1 defeat to Monaco.

On the eve of the trip to Francis-Le Blé, Luis Enrique said they need points and to be closer to the leading sides. He maintained he was very happy with what he had seen over the first three rounds and felt the results were unfair. The coach is expected to field a fresh, full-strength side after resting regulars against Slovan, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, Marquinhos, Joao Neves and Warren Zaïre-Emery all likely to return.

Brest are unbeaten with five points and kept the spine of last season’s team. The occasion will also see the club pay tribute to former coach Eric Roy, who died of cancer in June. Luis Enrique said it would be a special day and that his side would aim to produce their best as a tribute, before visiting Marseille next weekend.
