"We didn't play better than against PSV or Atletico"
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique spoke to the press after the 3-0 win over Salzburg in Champions League matchday 6. He has already said, on several occasions, that there have been results against him that don't match up with the feelings, and he went back to this idea once again.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique felt his side deserved to win against Salzburg, but felt they were no better than against PSV Eindhoven, against whom they drew, or Atletico Madrid, who beat them at their home stadium.
"It was a typical Champions League game, with a lot of intensity. I think we were very focused throughout the game and we deserved to win," said the coach. Luis Enrique highlighted his team's "defensive attitude", which he considered "exceptional’ and which meant that ‘the opposition hardly created any chances."
"We could have scored more, but the result is good for the goal difference," added the coach, who is in 24th place, the last place that gives access to the play-offs in this first phase. "But I don't think we played better today than we did against PSV or Atletico Madrid, it was a similar game," said Luis Enrique.
The coach acknowledged that his team can still improve in many areas, but indicated that these types of duels will help them in the future. "This team has a lot of room for improvement in everything, but going through these difficult matches will help us a lot in the future," he said.
