Luis Enrique’s behavior stuns Spain, LOSC’s historic feat sets the press on fire

Luis Enrique in the middle of a storm

The defeat against Arsenal and his controversial exit in the mixed zone raised many questions in the press. The Parisian wonders if PSG is really progressing under the orders of the Spanish tactician. His many choices are called into question, in particular the fact of playing without a real number 9. His possession game while the Parisian club has players more suited to a game in rapid transition questions. To this, we must also add his brittle and annoying communication towards the press. In Spain, the newspaper Sport believes that his image took a hit after the episode with the Canal+ journalist who also apologized to PSG for the bad buzz, while Lucho did not apologize to the latter. For Mundo DeportivoLuis Enrique is in the middle of a storm. Obviously we shouldn’t call everything into question with a defeat, but “Lucho” seems to be going through the first gray area since his arrival. Especially since the stats don’t work in his favor. With 6 defeats in 14 matches managed in the LDC, or 43% losses, the former coach of La Roja is the Parisian coach who has the highest loss ratio since the arrival of the Qataris at the club.

XXL feat of LOSC

French football experienced a simply historic evening! Lille, royal, offers Real, displays with joy North Lightning after the resounding feat of the Mastiffs. In a magnificent atmosphere, Lille beat the Real Galacticos with a score of 1-0 thanks to a penalty from Jonathan David. The Team is having fun this morning on its front page, yesterday we saw the Galacht’is instead. Led by a Lucas Chevalier of the great evenings, the Mastiffs achieved a real feat by defeating the reigning European champion, probably the greatest in their history as confided by the French goalkeeper, heroic throughout the match. The Parisian underlines in its interior pages the immense achievement of Lille which necessarily contrasts with the disillusionment of PSG the day before against Arsenal. LOSC looked the reigning European champions in the eyes. A performance to be credited to the players but also to the coach, Bruno Genesio. The French coach made history by becoming the third coach, after Diego Simeone and Jürgen Klopp, to have beaten Pep Guardiola, José Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti in European competition.

Panic in Madrid

The Spanish press is not kind since the awakening was so complicated with a 0 score for the three Spanish representatives who played last night. Madrid sank with the fall of Real, but also the humiliation of Atlético de Madrid 4-0 against Benfica. For the newspaper A.S.last weekend’s derby was expensive. To focus on Real Madrid, Ancelotti’s men are heavily criticized. If Lille ended a series of 36 matches without defeat for the Merengues, it is more the level displayed by Ancelotti’s men which is worrying. For SportReal Madrid pays for its laziness. Mundo Deportivo evokes a disastrous Real Madrid while the newspaper A.S. underlines that nothing is the same as before. “Vinicius is no longer Vinicius and Bellingham is no longer Bellingham.” The entry of Mbappé during the 2nd half changed nothing. Returning more quickly than expected from his injury, the Frenchman seemed to be short of rhythm. Is Real Madrid paying for its Galactic transfer window? The question deserves to be asked. More generally as explained, it is Spanish football which is struggling this Thursday morning. Dark night, laments the newspaper Marca to discuss the poor performances of the two Madrid clubs.
