A final before its time. This evening, Paris Saint-Germain welcomed Manchester City to the Parc des Princes for a very important Champions League shock. Both Parisians and Citizens needed points to try to secure a place in the play-off. And in this little game, it is the Parisians who emerge victorious from an incredible match after a big comeback. After the meeting, Luis Enrique returned to the copy made by his team.

It would have been a lot of fun as a press conference,” said Luis Enrique first. Believing that this evening is not necessarily a reference in his eyes – “The match in Munich was very intense, ten against eleven for a moment” – and emphasizing that his team has already shown great mental strength – “ This is not the first time we have reversed the score this season. We did it in Lens and in Monaco” – Luis Enrique wanted to pay tribute to the “best supporters in the world” who didn’t give up during the evening.

Tell me how many coaches in the world wouldn’t want to be in my shoes. In most of the teams I’ve been on, we’ve scored more goals.” Luis Enrique who also shared his difficulty celebrating in front of his great friend Pep Guardiola. “It was difficult for me to celebrate the goals because I have a friend next to me and I know he is suffering… But hey, that’s how it is. Football gives cheeks and sadness, like life. You have to know how to deal with it. »
