The Parisian coach particularly appreciated the start of the match delivered by his troops on Wednesday against Nice in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France.
PSG did not tremble. Surprised by OGC Nice at the Parc des Princes at the very start of the season (2-3), the Parisians this time quietly dominated the Aiglons in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (3-1), validating their ticket for the last square.
A quarter of an hour was enough for them to open the scoring thanks to the inevitable Kylian Mbappé and the French champions doubled the lead after half an hour thanks to Fabian Ruiz after a big error from Marcin Bulka. The Niçois reduced the score well before the break, PSG quickly regained some air in the second half.
“We played our best start to a match of the season”
From his bench, Luis Enrique appreciated the work. “We played our best start to a match of the season, against a team that was very strong defensively, he stressed at a press conference after the meeting. We were very good, with big chances. We really dominated. But football is sometimes weird, and we had a moment of doubt.”
However, nothing to spoil the beautiful Parisian evening. “We are clearly improving and I think we will continue to do so. The last third of the season is the most important and we are still in contention in all three competitions,” he added.
