PSG and Tottenham: Luis Enrique savours near qualification despite injuries

This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Tottenham at the Parc des Princes for the 5th matchday of the Champions League group stages (5-3 video summary here). Following the match, Luis Enrique, the coach of the capital club, reflected on his players' performance on PSG TV.

Enrique "the team continues to have the right mentality and I think we should be happy about it."

"It was incredible. First of all: the atmosphere, as usual. I think in the first half, it was difficult. We conceded those first two goals, with the second one at the start of the second half. But there was this resilience from the supporters, our supporters, and also from the team. I think this result is very important. For Marquinhos, it was a special day. We are very happy because I think we are practically qualified among the top 24 teams, and also for Marquinhos. We are second and we haven't yet played with the full team, because there are injuries all the time and in my memory, none of our five Champions League matches have been played with the full squad and all players fit. It's unique, but the team continues to have the right mentality and I think we should be happy about it."

A new victory for PSG in the Champions League and a very important one as it puts the capital club in a strong position for qualification. Even though everything wasn't perfect in this match, the success is there, along with those 5 goals scored. Already a winner against Tottenham in the European Super Cup, PSG did even better in the Champions League as there was no need for penalty shootouts. A great performance at the start of the season without a real preparation.

The path is now clear for PSG, almost assured of finishing at least among the playoff contenders. The goal is to secure qualification in the top 8 to directly qualify for the round of 16. With the return of several key players, there's no doubt that the Parisian club will gain momentum and once again reach 100% at the best moment of the season.
