PSG/Paris FC: Luis Enrique pulls no punches after Champions League exit | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain lost 0-1 to Paris FC (PSG/Paris FC summary) this Monday at the Parc des Princes in the Round of 16 of the 2025-2026 Coupe de France. After the match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique (54 years old) spoke at a press conference.

Enrique: “I wish PFC the best”

How do you explain tonight’s defeat?

“I think it’s very easy to define this match. It was a very complicated game, but we played very well. We did our job, we dominated the match. In football, you have to score goals; they scored one, we didn’t.

That’s football. I’m happy with the team and the individuals. It’s unfair, but we have to accept it. I wish PFC the best, but I’m pleased with what I saw.”

Is this defeat a lesson to remember for the rest of the season?

“If you look at the result, maybe. During the match, we were far superior, but you have to know how to lose. And in this case, it’s clear that it’s such a strange result. It’s a competition we love and it was not our goal to be eliminated. We have to accept it. But if I have to lose a match, I’d like to lose matches this way.”

Enrique: “When you look at the result, it’s the goals that count.”

Is this a setback in your season?

“What I saw tonight is what I want to see from my players. I’m sure that tomorrow, when I watch the match, that feeling will be even stronger. I’m very happy with the players and the supporters.”

Do you think your players gave everything on the pitch?

“It’s hard to do better than today because we dominated, we did everything in the first and second halves. We just have to score goals. That’s football. When you look at the result, it’s the goals that count. The performance was of a very high level.”
