PSG/Monaco – Filipe Luis' strong words on Luis Enrique, Paris and the win

This Friday, as part of Matchday 3 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain faced Monaco at the Parc des Princes. Filipe Luis, the Monaco manager, spoke at a press conference after Paris’ 1-2 defeat (PSG/Monaco video highlights). He repeated his praise for PSG and his counterpart Luis Enrique, just as he had before the match.

Filipe Luis: “PSG are not at their best.”

What made the difference? We tried to press them very high at the start of the match. They managed to play through the pressure because they have quality, but we kept at it. PSG are not at their best. At half-time, we adjusted a few things with the ball, and the players understood. We created a few chances, managed to score, and turned the game around. After that, we had to be brave, we had to run, defend, and we did.

Filipe Luis: “he is one of the best in history.”

We saw you speaking with Luis Enrique, is it a source of pride to win at the Parc des Princes? For me, he is not only the best coach in the world, he is one of the best in history. The way he behaves with his players, the way he coaches his teams, I admire it. It is a great pleasure just to play against him. So beating him... It is a great honor for me,” comments relayed by L’Equipe.

One can only appreciate Filipe Luis’ admiration and fair play, even if it does not bring victory back to the Parisian side. That is something the Monaco man certainly has going for him, and he can enjoy it. His team showed great solidarity, ruthless efficiency, and the ability to produce very sharp transitions. That is obviously a positive sign for what comes next.

Without exaggerating, and the Brazilian remains very humble, since Monaco were dominated by PSG in this match. Nothing abnormal, given the quality on both sides. In fact, while some will no doubt dramatize this defeat for PSG, it is interesting to once again see the opponent underline all of Paris’ strength. However, Paris do indeed have only 2 points, 7 fewer than ASM. It is time to start being efficient in order to move forward.
