Luis Enrique expects an intense match between Monaco and PSG and does not rule out another lively night, especially involving the goalkeepers, referring to previous heated encounters in the Principality. With humor, he joked: “I don’t know if I’m expecting a calmer evening. Maybe we’ll play without a goalkeeper (smile). No goalkeeper wants to play.”
The Paris coach mainly stressed attacking efficiency, which he considers decisive. “Last year it was very clear, we lacked efficiency at the start, just like in some matches this season. If we create many chances, it means we were superior to the opponent, and I think we will continue to do that.” He compared recent performances: “We created many chances against Rennes and Marseille. Against Marseille we scored five goals and only one against Rennes. They were very efficient.”
Efficiency and mentality at the heart of PSG’s approach
Winning away from home remains a major objective. Luis Enrique expressed confidence while underlining the demands: “If I judge the players and the team based on what I know, we must improve our efficiency because our individual quality is important. My confidence in our players and in the team is there. You have to realize how difficult it is to win away, but we are confident because we’ve already done it in the past.”

On the mental side, the message is constant. “I want to see the best version of PSG. We want to win every match and our mentality does not change.” The same logic applies even against a French club in the Champions League: “We must stay alert and play the same way every match. We don’t change our mentality. We want to win at home as well as away.”
Asked several times about Ousmane Dembélé, he shut the door: “What I said is very clear. There is always noise around PSG and we are used to it.” He added again: “There is always a lot of noise around PSG. You have to accept it.” Finally, he refused to reduce the match to a few individual duels: “You can’t talk about only two players from each team. These are two good teams with good players. We can expect a similar match to the one a few months ago, and we want to try to win this match.”
