Luis Enrique wants Paris Saint-Germain to concentrate on building on their approaching Ligue 1 title while they want to triumph on several fronts this season.
PSG beat Saint-Etienne 6-1 on Saturday with relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne.
With Marseille who lost Van Reims earlier on Saturday, the victory of PSG meant a draw between Monaco and Nice in the late game would have been enough for the Luis Enrique team to win the title.
Their celebrations over a fourth straight Ligue 1-crown were placed on ice after the goal of Breel Embolo Monaco Nice had defeated 2-1.
With a lead of 21 points with seven more games, the title goes to PSG, and Luis Enrique has now recorded the challenge for his team, which will go against Aston Villa in the quarterfinals of the Champions League and has been pulled against the second Tier Dunkerque in the semi-finals of Coupe de France.
“We are already champions, we have been for a few weeks now. I think we have been the best team in the competition from the start to date and it is just an anecdote when we become champions,” Luis Enrique told reporters.
“We want to win everything, that is our goal, compete, win and take every trophy.”
38 -Paris SG has not lost any of their last 38 Ligue 1 -Wegs (W30 D8), similar to the longest such undefeated run ever under the European top 5 competitions (38 for Milan between 1991 and 1993). Disturbed. #Asspsg pic.twitter.com/em5nuxkfqv

PSG is unbeaten in 27 games, which means that they are only short of five when matching the Ligue 1 record of 32, set by Nantes in 1994-95. They have also matched their club record, based in the 2015-16 season.
They are undefeated in 38 consecutive Ligue 1 -matches, equal to the longest such undefeated run among teams in the top five European competitions (AC Milan, 38 between 1991 and 1993).
Ex-Barcelona manager Luis Enrique, who led the Spanish giants to a treble in 2015, added that PSG must retain their intensity and prevent complacency to achieve the same.
“We have two months of competition and we all play for titles again, and we have to be competitive in all competitions,” he said.
“That is the difficult part. It is easy to relax, it is easy to drop the intensity. We can't let that happen.”
Luis Enrique also got his wish, in which the former Spain coach had told reporters that he hoped that Monaco and Nice did not pull, so PSG got the chance to win the title for their own fans in the Parc des Princes, where they organize Angers on April 5.
