Luis Enrique: PSG Match Should Have Been Stopped for Chants

When he spoke at the Ligue 1 + microphone, after the capital derby won by PSG against Paris FC (2-1), Luis Enrique wanted to settle his scores. The Spanish coach was annoyed that the match was almost interrupted because of discriminatory chants.

An announcement appeared during the meeting on the giant screens of the Parc des Princes: “One voice, zero discrimination!” Discriminatory chants are unacceptable at the Park. »

The speaker also intervened, with a song in which OM supporters were compared to “rats”. The referee of the match, Benoît Bastien, would also have warned the sidelines of the situation at the end of the match.

Enrique quite angry

The threat of the match being interrupted did not please Luis Enrique at all, who protested at the Ligue 1 + microphone, switching from French to Spanish: “The game could have been stopped because of the chants. In Marseille, Lyon or Nantes, it’s the same thing; but the threat only concerns PSG. I feel injustice. »

The Paris Saint-Germain coach then closed the subject and discussed the match, won thanks to goals from Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé.

PSG will face Olympique de Marseille next Thursday in the Champions Trophy. The meeting will take place in Kuwait.
