Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique admitted it's challenging to predict what to expect from Olympique Marseille ahead of their Ligue 1 derby, given the significant changes at the rival club. He assured that his players are solely focused on Sunday's match. The Spaniard has won six of the last seven derbies against Marseille since taking charge of PSG.

"The circumstances are different because Olympique Marseille has changed their coach, and many players have left. So, it's difficult to know what awaits us," Enrique stated at his pre-match press conference for France's biggest game.

"We need to be ready, regardless of the lineup we face. What's certain is that there will be a derby atmosphere. Such matches are tough for the players; we need to be mindful of many things we can't control. These are games that bring many people together, and for us, it's crucial to secure the three points," the coach added.

"This is a different kind of match; no player will be relaxed. We are accustomed to playing in such derbies. The motivation is equal for both teams. We will try to be better in the game, but that's not easy," the Spaniard cautioned. He also mentioned that his players would strive to control their emotions in this particularly special match.
