PSG/Nantes – Luis Enrique blunt on Kvaratskhelia, Lens and Al-Khelaifi | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 3-0 against Nantes (PSG/Nantes video highlights) this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in a postponed Matchday 26 fixture of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke at the press conference.

Luis Enrique: “we played a very good match.”

PSG had to respond after the defeat against Lyon, was it a perfect night?

“Almost perfect. It was important to win this match. We clearly deserved the victory. We were able to see different players who do not usually play. But I’m happy, we played a very good match.”

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia really likes playing on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, doesn’t he?

“Yes, but he made a mistake, he thought it was the Champions League (smile). No, I think it’s in these moments that you can see the level of the players. Kvara has shown all year his abilities, his quality in terms of character.”

Luis Enrique: “There are also clubs in Ligue 2 that I would like to see in Ligue 1”

How does it feel to see a club like Nantes close to going back down to Ligue 2?

“In every league, there are teams with a great history that are struggling. That’s how it is, that’s top-level football. But when you see Nantes, their stadium, it’s unique, it’s special. There are also clubs in Ligue 2 that I would like to see in Ligue 1, like Saint-Étienne. But that’s how it is, you have to accept it.”

Was the league decided tonight?

“I think that when you see the season Lens have had, they still want to improve and keep playing. We want to win the league, but it will be tight. We will have to play away against them and we know how important that match is. We have to prepare for this weekend’s match, and we will also know their result beforehand, which is important.”

Luis Enrique: “We showed what team, what club we are”

The attacking trio was very prolific tonight, what is your opinion on that?

“It’s what we have shown all year and especially during this second half of the season. You obviously talk very regularly about the players who score, but for me the most important thing is also to talk about players like Beraldo, Dro Fernandez, or João Neves, who were phenomenal. For me, it’s important to highlight the whole team.”

It was Nasser Al-Khelaïfi’s 800th match, do you have a word for him?

“Of course, for us, for the staff, it’s very important. I obviously wish him 800 more matches. It’s a real pleasure to be here. And the one who gives us confidence and supports us is the president. We showed what team, what club we are, and it’s important to keep going.”
