Luis Enrique praised the focus of the players of Paris Saint-Germain during their 1-0 win over Toulouse on Saturday.
After the second place Marseille's 5-1 routing of Saint-Etienne earlier in the day, PSG recovered their 10-point lead on the Ligue 1-top thanks to the second half of Fabian Ruiz in the Toulouse stage.
The side of Luis Enrique remains unbeaten after their opening 22 league games of the season, while they expanded their winning series over all competitions to six games.
PSG switch their focus back to the Champions League on Wednesday, when they organize colleague Ligue 1 Side Brest in the second stage of their Knock Phase Playoff.
The finalists of 2019-2020 are in a strong position to qualify for the last 16 with a 3-0 lead of the first stage earlier this week.

And Luis Enrique was satisfied with the way in which his players maintained their concentration levels between the two legs for their journey to Toulouse.
“This was a competition match between two Champions League matches, where losing focus is very simple,” said the Spaniard. “Yet I think it is a very important quality that we have, that we compete at a high level.
“The intention is the same, regardless of who is wearing the Parisian shirt. Our goal was to have many players who could compete and win, regardless of the line-up.
“It is a very important victory. We are happy to be competitive in every game, at any time of a game. And I want to congratulate my team.
“I think we should continue to work on what we are doing well, keep improving and doing everything we can to extend this great run that we are on.”
