PSG/Bayern Munich – Luis Enrique, joy and regret before the press | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 5-4 against Bayern Munich (PSG/Bayern Munich highlights) this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (the return leg is on Wednesday, May 6) . After this victory, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference.

Luis Enrique: “I am extremely tired without having run a single kilometer”

Everyone is talking about a historic match tonight, do you share that view?

“I think it was a match between two teams of an incredible level. We showed the kind of football we like. But I can say that I am extremely tired without having run a single kilometer. They started the match better, but then we changed the course of the game. We started the second half better than they did. But it was a match with different strong spells, different situations. Congratulations to both teams.”

You are going to Munich to win, how do you see this return leg?

“I’m so tired that if I have to talk about the match taking place in a week.... We need to analyze this match and see what needs to be improved. When you face this kind of team, it is always difficult. We conceded four goals, but it is so different from what we are used to experiencing. But I think the return leg will be similar.”

Luis Enrique: “After it became 5-2, we think we could have done better”

What did you feel at the fifth goal?

“The pace of the match was different from normal. The players who came onto the pitch helped keep the rhythm. The fifth goal was the best moment of the match. But I knew it would not end there against a team like Bayern Munich. We won the match. We are happy, but after it became 5-2, we think we could have done better. We deserved to win, we could also have deserved a draw, and we could have deserved to lose the match as well.”

Vincent Kompany thinks it will be the same style of match in Munich, are you preparing for how many more goals you will need to score to qualify?

“I asked my staff the same question, and they answered a minimum of three. In a week, we will go to Munich, a stadium we like, a stadium that brings back wonderful memories for us. We won our first Champions League in Munich. We will be playing a little bit at home as well. They are even stronger with their supporters, but for us this stadium is an excellent memory.”

Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé shone again in this match, any thoughts on their performances?

“We can talk about the attackers who score, but today, what both teams showed, what the players showed, was exceptional. When you produce this kind of football, in this kind of atmosphere, it is a memory you keep forever.”
