Luis Enrique was keen to focus on PSG’s midweek fixture even as his side edged to a 1-0 win over Lens.
A goal after just four minutes from Ousmane Dembélé proved the difference between the sides, and the PSG boss was keen to stress that though his team were perfect, his attention was on the midweek Champions League clash against Atlético Madrid, which he described as “practically a final”.
“There’s no doubt about it. It was a very interesting match for us, because it’s difficult to beat all your rivals. It’s not always the strongest teams that win, and today was perfect. We took the three points, which was difficult. But I think the team’s attitude and conduct were perfect.
The best way to approach a match is to have won the previous one. I think we were able to prepare ourselves and now we’ll have time to prepare for the Champions League match. It’s clear that it’s practically a final for us, so we intend to play a good game and we can’t wait to see our fans again.”
