This Tuesday evening, the PSG bowed on the lawn of theAllianz Arena against the
Bayern Munich during the fifth day of the league stage of the Champions League. After five matches, the capital club has only four points and is ranked 26th, currently eliminated from the competition. He will have to be flawless in his last three meetings (Salzburg, Manchester City et
Stuttgart) to hope for qualification for the final phase of the Champions League. Present at a press conference, in remarks relayed by The Parisian,
Luis Enrique spoke about his choice to tenure
Matvey Safonov, the possibility of seeing
Arnau Tenas in the goals, the chances of qualification of the PSG…
His feeling after the match and his choice to start Safonov
« My impression is that we were unable to overcome their pressure in the first half. We have been very inferior in this area. This is why we did not recover the ball high. There was reason to hope in the second but there was the expulsion. This is a serious mistake on our part. We still stayed in the match until the end. All my decisions are my responsibility and I take responsibility for them. »
Arnau Tenas possible starter during the next match in the Champions League?
« My goal is to have all my players ready. I thought that Safonov was the best at overcoming the pressure of Bayern and generate numerical superiority. These defeats are embarrassing but they give me information about everyone and allow me to know where we are going in the future. »

« I have nothing to say about refereeing, as I have since the start of my career. More than anger, I would say it's frustration. »
Still confident about qualifying?
« In each match I must have lessons, information for the future that I envisage here in order to become stronger. I get a lot of information. You are talking about the three defeats, but I am talking about the three matches that remain to be played. You have to win them to qualify. On the attack for these next three matches ! »
Do you have time to develop your ideas at PSG? Is this the right place to build a project?
« Being a coach is a privilege. The pressure I put on myself is far greater than anything anyone can put on me. I am not here to pass the time, like my predecessors before me. I want to win titles, not in the future, but in the present. All the information I glean is useful to me, I repeat. »
