PSG v Monaco, Filipe Luis sends love letter to Luis Enrique

This Friday at 9:05pm (broadcast on Ligue1+), Paris Saint-Germain (11th) will face Monaco (1st) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 3rd matchday of Ligue 1 2026-2027. At a press conference, Monaco coach Filipe Luis spoke about this match and the Parisian opponent. In particular, he praised his Paris counterpart Luis Enrique.

Filipe Luis “I have the privilege of living this moment.”

“We are going to face, without any doubt, one of the best teams in football history. I am going to face, once again, the best coach in the world, or probably one of the three best in history, and I have the privilege of living this moment.

Filipe Luis “He is a unique coach.”

Luis Enrique among the best coaches in history, really? Maybe in the top 5 (smile). What he brings to football, his personality, the way he speaks, the way he behaves, the attention he gives to the group _ even outside his documentary... As I said, he shows others how to manage a group of players and how to lead a big club. He is a unique coach. I admire him a lot. He won titles with Barcelona, and he won again, for the first time, with PSG. It is very difficult to win for the first time, and he keeps winning. That’s the hardest part,” comments relayed by L’Equipe.

The message is very clear: the Brazilian coach is a big fan of Luis Enrique, and he will enjoy facing him in this very attractive match. It is understandable; the Spaniard is quite special, both tactically and in communication. One should not try to imitate him, though it is possible to draw inspiration from him. Especially in the management of a football team’s players, as Filipe Luis points out.

Still, PSG must not let themselves be softened or lulled into complacency. The Monaco coach will not come to the Parc des Princes looking for photos or autographs. The objective will indeed be to counter Paris’s plans and take all 3 points. PSG will have to be ready to fight for their first Ligue 1 victory of the season. It is up to the Parisian side to live up to all of Filipe Luis’s compliments.
