PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – “We scored four more goals than last year. We have four fewer points in the league, it’s true, and we’re not first because Lens have just won ten consecutive games and deserve to be there. But if we analyze this particular season, we’re having a very good moment.” Despite the Champions League defeat in Lisbon and second-place finish in Ligue 1, Luis Enrique remains positive. “There are many reasons,” he replies to those who point out that PSG has often appeared to be struggling in recent months.
“It’s January 22nd, and since the start of the season, we’ve played only one match against the team that reached the Champions League final. Just one match, and it was the first—a reference to the European Super Cup against Tottenham—when we were at 50%. And if you look at the teams we’ve faced in the Champions League, there are six who are aiming to finish in the top eight. If I put it all together, it’s an extraordinary season.” And compared to last year, Luis Enrique assures, the team’s belief in its own abilities is different. “A year ago, we didn’t know we could win. The players didn’t have the same level of confidence. Today, individually and collectively, we know we can do it. And the other teams know it too.”
