After a resounding triumph, 3-0 at Chelsea's ground, Luis Enrique addressed the media in a press conference. The Asturian said he was "proud" of the group of players at his disposal, assured that he expected "the result" and asserted that his team, Paris Saint-Germain, once again demonstrated that it can compete in any setting.
Luis Enrique said, "No, we did what we always do. Gain confidence. We talked yesterday about the difficulty of playing away games with a goal difference. When you're capable of keeping the ball and attacking spaces... We were very precise. We scored two quick goals that were the key to the match. We showed again today that we are a great team that can play in different ways and that is unpredictable for rivals."
We talk about the last five Champions League matches. We conceded goals. And today, we talk about seeking a real improvement in different aspects of the game that we must control. For me, it's not important to concede a goal because Chelsea created many chances. For us, it's important to show a good mentality. We expect this in the future.
We always have confidence in the team. I think we talk about it quite often. You always think it's last year and that we win every match 4-0. It's impossible. No team has done that in history. The season has been very difficult for all teams, especially because of the number of injuries. We were very demanding of our team. We are having a great season.
REUTERSYou tell the story however you want. If this match is a turning point... We have shown again, in Europe, that we don't want to look to hold onto a result and that we want to win. The result is good individually and collectively. And above all, for our fans, who always trust even when we lose.
Regarding Barcola, we have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens to him. It's nothing serious. I'm proud of the team. I did not expect this result.
He was questioned about whether this emphatic result against Chelsea was down to his merit, to which he responded: "The coach has no merit now. These players come motivated as standard. When training ends, they keep playing in the locker room. When you enjoy your profession, it's easier. It's very easy for me as a coach. Yesterday we finished training, and they kept training next to the bus. It's a pleasure."
