Luis Enrique: The Bayern Semi-Final Has Already Begun

Luis Enrique spoke about Paris Saint-Germain's 3-0 victory over Angers in Ligue 1, a classic win in their 31st-round match. Beyond the success, which extended the Parisians' lead at the top to six points, the coach also shared his thoughts on the upcoming Champions League semi-final clash against Bayern Munich, a competition where the French capital club are also the reigning champions.

“We extended our lead over Lens by another two points and, more importantly, demonstrated our ability to play at a high level. It's not easy: if you start the match too calmly and relaxed, you can run into problems against Angers. But we started very actively. Ultimately, the match went smoothly because we did our job well. Sunny weather and an upcoming match against Bayern are typical situations where you might face difficulties. But there were none, and that shows we are ready for the semi-finals.”

“Ramos's sending off was more of an incident. It's the first time I've seen a forward sent off without intending to break the rules. But let's be honest: the semi-final with Bayern has already begun — I won't go into details. We have everything at once: incredible players, a top-level team, a very competitive club, fans who are always with us, a city like Paris that has long wanted to win the Champions League... We will play this semi-final against the best team in Europe, but we are the current champions and we want to remain so,” Enrique stated.
