Luis Enrique Raises Concern Over PSG Form Ahead of Chelsea Showdown—-Spanish coach says PSG must rediscover belief and momentum as pressure builds before their crucial clash with Chelsea.
Paris Saint-Germain edged past AS Monaco to reach the next round of the UEFA Champions League, but the victory came with plenty of drama and controversy.
Monaco played 45 minutes of the first leg with 10 men and suffered another setback in the return fixture when Mamadou Coulibaly was sent off after they had levelled the tie on aggregate. Despite the numerical advantage, PSG only narrowly progressed 5-4.
However, Monaco gained revenge on Friday night, defeating PSG 3-1 away from home — their third meeting in three weeks. The result gives RC Lens hope of cutting the gap at the top of the table to just one point.
PSG boss Luis Enrique admitted the defeat has dented the team’s confidence ahead of a crucial clash with Chelsea F.C. on Wednesday.
“Confidence isn’t something you can buy at Monoprix. You have to build it day by day,” Enrique said. “We are clearly struggling, but we must keep hope to change that.”`
