Luis Enrique Makes Unexpected Record Claim After PSG Beat Villarreal

Paris Saint-Germain put on a true spectacle full of goals on Tuesday night after facing Villarreal CF (0-6) in matchday 4 of the Champions League.

The players, led by Spanish coach Luis Enrique, managed to position themselves as the dominant team for most of the match, leaving the opponent quite affected.

Before the game reached the 20th minute, the Parisians had already put 4 goals in a row into the net. This was a historic rout, since they became the team that has needed the least time to score 4 goals in a match in the entire history of the Champions League.

This managed to ignite criticism toward Villarreal on social media, especially from its own fans, but for Luis Enrique, this does not represent a win at all.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, the Spaniard made it clear that this record is worth nothing to him.

"This is worth nothing. There will only be one champion in Madrid. We have spent the last two years outside the top eight, and we were champions. Happy to see the team's ambition. In February and March, we will have to prove everything," he declared.

The coach explained that PSG's win was partly due to the luck they had in recovering the balls near the goal, and since Villarreal is a team he likes a lot, the Spanish team's loss felt bad to him, since it is known that it is very difficult for a team to recover after three goals are scored on them in less than 8 minutes.

"I will take the beginning of the match. After 0-3, no team can withstand that. It is difficult for the opponent to wake up and come back. I do not like these results because we always respect the opponent, and we always play the same way."

Luis Enrique also commented that he went to give encouragement to Villarreal coach Inigo Perez, since these are situations that everyone has been through as coaches.

It has definitely been an extraordinary match that even managed to make history, and as long as the starters and the substitutes maintain that great level, it is very likely that they will have the opportunity to lift the Champions League title for the third time.

"I know they all have the level. The formidable thing is to see the intensity with which they all train when they are needed."

PSG has one Ligue 1 match left on Nov. 7 before entering the international break. Once they return from their international commitments, they will face OGC Nice on the 21st and AS Roma on Nov. 25.
