Following the win by PSG, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Andros Townsend used one word to describe what Luis Enrique has transformed the Parisians into this season.

“I’m running out of superlatives to describe this Paris St-Germain side,” Townsend said (h/t BBC). “Luis Enrique has created a monster.”

Meanwhile, former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel also said on DAZN that no team wants to run into PSG because of how they’re currently playing.

“I don’t think anybody wants to play PSG right now,” Mikel said (h/t BBC). “Every team in the world right now is looking at them asking ‘how can we play like this?’ Everything they did was an absolute masterclass.”
