Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, addressed the media on Tuesday ahead of their match against Lorient, a game that could secure the Parisians their 12th league title.
When questioned about his decision to leave Kylian Mbappé on the bench despite being regarded as one of the world’s best players, Luis Enrique responded humorously, “You’ve just set a record. This is the first press conference where no one asked me about ‘Kiki’. And you’re breaking that streak? Look at how well the question was framed. I can’t answer that. When Mbappé speaks publicly, then I’ll respond.”
Acknowledging PSG’s status as favorites for the title, the Spanish coach said, “Clearly, in terms of budget, squad, and the club itself, we’re always considered favorites for the league. There’s a noticeable difference compared to others. Not every season sees us winning the league with such a margin. Even in the last decade, PSG missed out on the title twice. Football is unpredictable. We’ve asserted our intention to win the league since day one,” Luis Enrique emphasized.
