PSG v Bayern Munich – Luis Enrique: “It was time to celebrate” | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 5-4 win over Bayern Munich (PSG/Bayern Munich highlights) this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the Champions League 2025-2026 semi-final (second leg on Wednesday, May 6). After the victory, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke to CBS Sports Golazo.

Luis Enrique “Everyone is exhausted, and happy.”

One of the best semi-finals in history—what was it like to experience as a coach?

You can never be angry with your players, no matter how many goals you concede. Both teams showed what they are, what they want to convey. It was time to celebrate. There was always something happening, great intensity. Everyone is exhausted, and happy. We beat one of the best teams in Europe, maybe even the best this season.

A word on the penalties?

I don’t remember them, I try not to analyze. The referees do their job. Each team had its moments. They started better, we suffered. In the second half, we were the ones who started better. We’re happy to have won.

Luis Enrique “What you must not do against a team like that.”

Any regrets after leading 5-2?

We need to analyze the match calmly, after some rest. When you’re 5-2 up, even if you don’t want to, you drop a little deeper defensively. That’s what you must not do against a team like that, one that knows very well how to score in that situation.
