PSG 5-0 Rennes: Luis Enrique Praises Near-Perfect Performance

Lots of goals and lots of attackers, with a double from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the first of the season from Ibrahim Mbaye, one from the eternal substitute Gonçalo Ramos and another from Senny Mayulu, often in good shots. 5-0 against Rennes, the team in form on the national scene, second place in Ligue 1 behind Lens, one point away, coach Luis Enrique, in a press conference after this success on the 15th day, had reason to rejoice.

Can we talk about a perfect evening?

LUIS HENRY. Of course ! An almost perfect evening! We are happy. We scored 5 goals without conceding. Rennes played very well and did not deserve this difference. We were very efficient. It’s very positive.

Illia Zabarnyi was absent. Is this related to the probable tenure of Matvey Safonov?

(Angry) This is incredible! Every time you ask a question, it’s to create a problem. He is sick. Simply. He was sick the last two days. No controversy. He’s sick!

Five goals from five attackers, what changed this week?

(Angry) Nothing!

“I prefer to have my grandmother play but no gift”

How do you analyze a meeting where everything goes well?

At the moment, in L 1, there are teams who are playing very well like Lens, who are first and who deserve it. It’s a motivation for us to have a closer fight. We want to improve every week.

Why do some les Titis, like David Boly, summoned, not play while others have their chance?

I don’t give any gifts. When a Titi plays, it’s because he deserves to play. They all want to play. I prefer to have my grandmother play but no gift. We play if we deserve it. Otherwise, you have to improve.

What assessment do you draw from 2025? ?

It was a sensational year for PSG, the supporters and for me.

A word for Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba champions with Inter Miami in MLS this Saturday with Léo Messi?

They are beautiful people and incredible players. They deserve everything they get. They must be very proud of what they have done, as a person and a footballer. Congratulations to them!

Are you proud of your players?

Of course ! I am proud of my players, the supporters, the incredible atmosphere. It was a real pleasure to play at the Parc des Princes.
