Luis Enrique has heaped praise on Paris Saint-Germain’s players for their focused performance in their 1-0 win against Toulouse on Saturday. The victory helped PSG maintain their 10-point lead at the top of Ligue 1, following Marseille’s 5-1 thrashing of Saint-Etienne earlier in the day.
The win also extended PSG’s unbeaten run in the league to 22 matches, and their winning streak across all competitions to six games. However, their attention now turns to the Champions League, as they prepare to face Brest in the second leg of their knockout phase playoff on Wednesday.
After securing a commanding 3-0 lead in the first leg, PSG are in a strong position to qualify for the last 16. Luis Enrique was pleased with his players’ ability to maintain their concentration levels between the two legs, especially considering the potential for losing focus.
“This was a league match between two Champions League matches, where losing focus is very easy,” said the Spaniard. “Yet, I think it’s a very important quality that we have, that we compete at a high level. The intention is the same, no matter who wears the Paris shirt. Our objective was to have many players who could compete and win, regardless of the line-up.”
The victory against Toulouse was deemed significant by Luis Enrique, who emphasized the team’s desire to be competitive in every match and every moment of the game. He congratulated his team and stressed the importance of continuing to work on their strengths and improving to maintain their impressive run of form.
As PSG continue their pursuit of domestic and European success, their ability to stay focused and perform at a high level will be crucial.
