Statement by Luis Enrique (PSG coach)
The Spanish coach said at the press conference prior to the match against Lyon that the team is in the "process of achieving our objectives and that is why we are working with great enthusiasm and seriousness. Our objective has always been the same: to win the championship. We want to leave the club's colors high and that's why we have to be competitive in every game".
