PSG v Metz: Luis Enrique proud of his players after the win

As part of the 23rd matchday of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted FC Metz at the Parc des Princes and secured a 3-0 victory (video highlights here). Following the match, Luis Enrique, coach of the capital club, spoke to PSG TV about the result.

Enrique: “I think we played seriously”

“It’s a great victory. Everyone might think it’s easy to win against the bottom team in the standings, but that’s not the case at all. I think we played seriously, as this match required. We are very happy, we started the match very well by scoring the first goal and we deserved this victory. What doesn’t change is the atmosphere at the Parc: it’s wonderful. I think it’s a strength of our team. Today, all the players who played showed their level, their ability to play the way we need. I think the performance of all the players was important.”

Against the bottom team in the league, PSG had to win. Even though no match is easy in football, Luis Enrique’s men quickly made things easier for themselves by opening the scoring early in the match. After RC Lens’ defeat to AS Monaco, the Parisians knew they had the chance to reclaim the top spot in the standings.

That’s exactly what they did with this victory, which also allows them to prepare for the second leg of the Champions League play-off to be held this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. A successful evening, then, for PSG, who managed to gain even more confidence by reclaiming their place at the top.
