Coach Luis Enrique unconcerned by PSG’s poor start to French league season

Two points from three matches marks their worst launch into Ligue 1 since the 2007‑08 season, when PSG teeted near relegation.

Paris Saint‑Germain remain without a win after three league appearances, trailing despite falling 2‑1 at home to Mon­tico on Friday evening.
Having recently suffered a home defeat at Montecinó, the Parisians continue to drift below the summit of the table.

Early in the match PSG displayed remarkable intensity, leading at halftime before surrendering twice in the second half.

“There is nothing to fear. Honestly, I say so. How many shots on target could Monaco produce—just two—and how many goals? Two. The outcome will reveal itself by the season’s conclusion,” Luis Enrique stated following Friday’s discouraging result.

“My point is simple: do not judge solely by the final scoreline.”

“Our pressing was electrifying—superior even on matchdays when we kept clean sheets—but luck simply slipped past us.” He emphasized that Monaco’s experience ensures they dominate over repeated encounters, making this single loss the likely one.

Two victories in three affairs is arguably their least favorable debut in twelve seasons under the 2007‑08 benchmark, a campaign that nearly cost the club promotion, ultimately ending just three points above relegation position.

At this stage the Parisian side is seven points adrift on the points column head.

Yet that shortfall serves as powerful fuel.

“Seven points represents outstanding motivation for the players, the entire squad, and the club itself. Anyone daring to forecast the year-end champions ought to place a bet—indeed, seven points require rapid recovery—and we will commit to erasing that deficit swiftly,” Luis Enrique concluded, setting sights on a UEFA Champions League group matchup against Slovan Bratislava.]
