Luis Enrique cut a happy figure, praising his Paris Saint-Germain team’s quality and control in their win against Olymique Lyonnais on Sunday.
The 3-1 victory at Parc des Princes brought an end to Lyon’s nine-game run without a loss as the Parisians kept clear distance at the summit of the Ligue 1 standings.
Enrique’s side were the only team in the top eight not to drop points in the matchday as they are still unbeaten in the division and with 37 points, they are seven off Olympique Marsielle who are second.
“Today, we played against an opponent full of confidence… and I think we were at a very good level,” Luis Enrique said to reporters.
“At the end of the first half, conceding that goal may have cost us a bit, but when you’re up against players of this calibre, it’s important to make very few mistakes and on the whole, we’re happy.”
Desire Doue was largely involved in the win, with the PSG striker earning a penalty and contributing with an assist.
“I felt very good. Once again tonight I tried to listen to the coach’s advice, to apply the tactics and also to help my teammates. Try to do my best to perform and to help the team,” he said.
“It is also for the fans who encourage us all the time. They always push us, even in the most difficult moments we have had recently. We are coming back well and that is the most important thing.”
