PSG's Dramatic Comeback Victory and New Signing
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique expressed mixed emotions after his team's hard-fought 2-1 victory over Lens on Saturday. While praising their resilience and ability to secure a late win, he acknowledged the need for improvement in their overall performance.
The match proved to be a challenging one for PSG, with Lens putting up a strong defensive effort. Despite starting well and controlling the early stages, PSG struggled to break through Lens's resolute defense in the latter part of the first half.
The second half saw a more energized PSG, with increased urgency and a higher tempo. This resulted in more scoring opportunities, culminating in Bradley Barcola's late strike that secured the crucial victory.
Despite the win, Luis Enrique emphasized the need for improvement, particularly in maintaining a consistent rhythm throughout the match. He acknowledged the need for more depth and attacking threat, especially against well-organized defenses.
The victory moved PSG 10 points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. However, their focus now shifts to the Champions League, where they currently sit just outside the playoff spots. Their next challenge comes in the form of a home match against Manchester City on Wednesday.
Adding to the excitement, PSG recently completed the signing of Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli for a reported fee of 70 million euros. Luis Enrique expressed his enthusiasm about the new addition, highlighting Kvaratskhelia's experience, personality, and diverse skillset. He believes the winger will be a valuable asset to the already strong PSG squad and contribute significantly to their success.
