Luis Enrique said that the recent run of Paris Saint-Germain was “special”, but insisted that his side should stay focused on Saturday before he had Toulouse in Ligue 1 in Ligue 1.
PSG has scored 23 goals in their last seven games in all games, while he also enjoys an unbeaten run of 17 games.
Luis Enrique watched while his team came to the Champions League in the last 16 with a dominant 3-0 win in their play-off first leg conflicts against Brest on Tuesday.
In the result, the Parisiens scored three or more goals in four consecutive Champions League matches for only a second time (after a series of five in 2017).
They are also at the top of the Ligue 1-Table, 10 points free of the second placed Marseille, after they have demanded 53 points from 21 games to date (W16 D5), so that no lost.
PSG could indeed become the fourth team to avoid the defeat in their first 22 games of a season in the upper light after themselves in 1985-86 (26) and 2015-16 (27) and Nantes in 1994-95 (32) They have to beat Toulouse in their next league match.
“We are at a very special moment. The entire team is effective, which makes us very happy, it gives us energy to keep fighting in all competitions,” said Luis Enrique.
“We hand out the figures at the end of the school year. But today it is positive. The players and the staff are on the same line, and that is very positive.
“The first is that the players must feel that we trust them, that's why I have changed my starting line-ups.
“Our most important idea is to be unpredictable for the opposition and predictable for ourselves. I love the way we play.”
The Spaniard also praised Joao Neves for his displays, where the Portuguese midfielder was impressive since his move to the French capital of Benfica last year.
In Ligue 1 this season, no more player Duels (101) has won or more assists (seven) registered for PSG than Neves, where Luis Enrique emphasizes his interest in the side.
“He arrived with his qualities. We knew that he would be a very important player for us. He is Beraldo as (Brazilian defender), who adapted very quickly,” he said.
“We have players who are very well defensive and with the ball.”
PSG has won 24 of their last 29 games in all competitions against Toulouse (D3 L2) and only won more often against Marseille and Lyon (26-24 also V Saint-Etienne) in all competitions since the beginning of 2010.
Toulouse has also won none of their last five Ligue 1 matches (D3 L2) -Hun longest run in the top flight since between October and December 2023 (10)-after winning six of the previous eight (L2).
Although Toulouse occupied 10th place in the table, Luis Enrique was on their guard in front of the side of Carles Martinez Novell and the threat they could cause PSG in the stadium De Toulouse.
“They recently struggled at home, but their coach knows our playing style very well,” concluded Luis Enrique.
“We did not defeat Toulouse in Ligue 1 last season. They have succeeded in winning with us. Their coach knows how to cause us problems.”
