Paris Saint-Germain Coach Hails ‘Perfect Evening’ After Dominant Win
Luis Enrique praised his team’s performance after PSG reclaimed first place in Ligue 1 with a commanding 4-0 victory over Nice on Saturday.
Nuno Mendes opened the scoring for PSG from the penalty spot just three minutes into the second half. Desire Doue, Dro Fernandez, and Warren Zaire-Emery added further goals to secure the win.
Nice played most of the match with one man down after Youssouf Ndayishimiye was sent off in the final 30 minutes due to a foul on PSG’s Burundi midfielder.
PSG now lead Lens by one point despite Lens’ recent thrashing of Angers. The two teams will face each other on April 11, with Enrique warning that the title race will be tough.
The coach emphasized the difficulty ahead but noted his team’s ability to overcome challenges and improve.
PSG secured their third consecutive win since their loss to Monaco three weeks ago, demonstrating their resilience and capability under pressure.
Nice remain in 15th place, just above Auxerre who beat Brest 3-0. The French champions’ survival hopes are bolstered by this crucial win for their team.
Toulouse maintained their position with a 1-0 victory over Lorient, moving up to ninth place and overtaking the struggling Lorient side in tenth.
