Before finding the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain returns to Ligue 1. This Friday evening, Luis Enrique and its players face AS Monaco in a shock that promises to be spectacular.
After its qualification this Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the French Cup against Le Mans (2-0), Paris Saint-Germain is back in Ligue 1 where they will challenge AS Monaco, this Friday. A prestige poster on the program in a very overloaded calendar. Indeed, the two teams compete so early in this weekend because of their respective confrontations against the Brestois and Benfica stadium in the Champions League dams. At a press conference, Luis Enrique returned to this chain of matches that can push players to their limits: “”It’s a tetris game. We can plan things but we then see that there are two sick players in training or a suspension. It remains open. We want to solve this by managing playing times but it’s difficult. It’s not a problem, I don’t complain about that. It is an opportunity to meet expectations that exist. The competition keeps fit. It is a stimulus. Training before and after the matches do not have an additional physical charge. Excessive loads are avoided and correct the errors in video “.
Dembélé, new leader
Author of eleven goals in his last six games, two of which were triplets, Ousmane Dembélé is the man in the form of Paris Saint-Germain. Repositioned in false-9, the French international shows an impressive success that fled him last season. “”I have known him from Barcelona. He is a very open boy. It connects with all its partners. His figures have exploded, he is in a spectacular series. With him, the idea is not to put any limits. We want him to continue to be important, decisive, to turn into a leader, make assists, put goals. He can become one of the team leaders “said Luis Enrique about the top scorer in the French championship.
“We remain spectacular”
Since the departure of Kylian Mbappé, PSG has been trying to score as many goals. A will that is not easy to achieve. However, Luis Enrique is convinced to achieve it with its current workforce: “”I was very courageous last season to say that the team would be better this season. I continue to think that we are better in attack and defense. The figures say it. The players took it as a challenge (to replace Mbappé). We wanted to keep Kylian. Everyone loves Kyky. But the team responds very positively. We remain spectacular. I had said that it took four twelve goals and there was already one who has exceeded this score. We invite other players to imitate it and improve “.
Invincibility in the viewfinder?
Before entering the last part of the championship, Paris Saint-Germain is still invincible with 15 victories and 5 draws. If the quest to finish champion by conceding no defeat could quickly become a real will, Luis Enrique prefers to divert the subject: “”Staying invincible does not interest me. What matters is to win titles, make the club larger and the supporters proud “.
A Monegasque feat in Paris?

For this, Adi Hütter can count on Moatasem Musrati, his last recruit: “”First of all, he is an experienced player. He is international (Libyan, 42 selections, 2 goals), he played European matches. He can appear shy at a press conference, but he is a player with a lot of personality on a field. Technically, he is good, he knows how to find solutions, he knows how to play short as long, he likes to help young players, support them. He’s good head and will help us on stopped kicks. This is the kind of player we were looking for, with his experience “said the Monegasque technician.
Defeated by PSG in the Champions Trophy this season (1-0), Monaco intends to take his revenge and his coach revealed some keys to achieve it: “”Right now, this is one of the best teams in Europe. They are stronger than in December. In Qatar, for the Champions Trophy, they had been better than us, but with more success, we could have gone on penalties.
