Luis Enrique expressed his joy after receiving a two-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain, reinforcing his desire to leave a lasting impact with the French champions.

“Since the start, the club has provided us with everything we need, and this support drives me to keep advancing and improving. Our goal is to make history together as a coaching staff,” Luis Enrique stated after PSG’s impressive 4-1 victory over Monaco on Friday.

“I can’t predict how long I’ll be here. When you feel at home and know you have the trust of your surroundings, why should you limit yourself?” he added. “I truly appreciate that support and aim to repay it with hard work, though I understand that might not always lead to the results we want.”

Despite the decisive victory, which maintained their lead at the top of Ligue 1 with a 13-point cushion, Luis Enrique downplayed suggestions that it was their strongest performance of the season. He acknowledged challenges, especially towards the end of the match.

“I wouldn’t say we played our best game. I wasn’t pleased with the last 10-15 minutes; we struggled to take control from Monaco and faced some difficulties,” he noted. “The first half was fairly balanced and pressing them was tough. In the second half, we managed to inflict more damage, and ultimately, we earned the win. But it was challenging, as always, against Monaco.”

With their domestic dominance secure, PSG now turns its attention to the Champions League knockout playoffs, where they are set to face fellow Ligue 1 side Brest on Tuesday. Although their European campaign began slowly, preventing them from automatically qualifying for the last 16, Luis Enrique believes these challenges have only fortifies his squad in their pursuit of the elusive Champions League title.

“We’ve experienced it all. Those tough moments when only our fans believed in us are precious now because they’ve helped us mature as a young team,” Luis Enrique said. “We will never cease to fight. Our objective this season is to strive until the final minute of every competition and aim to make history.”

IPL 2026 : In a dramatic IPL 2026 clash, Royal Challengers Bengaluru player Tim David has landed in controversy for allegedly making an obscene gesture after his team’s thrilling win against Mumbai Indians.

The incident took place during the 54th match of the Indian Premier League in Raipur. Batting first, Mumbai Indians scored 167 runs in 20 overs and set a competitive target for RCB.

While chasing the target, Royal Challengers Bengaluru needed 15 runs in the final over. The match went down to the last ball, where RCB required two runs for victory. Rasikh Dar helped the team secure a thrilling win in the final delivery.

Soon after the victory, Tim David, who was in the dugout, was seen allegedly showing his middle finger towards the Mumbai Indians camp during the celebrations. The video of the incident quickly went viral on social media and triggered criticism from cricket fans.

Reports suggest that match officials could take disciplinary action against the Australian batter. Under the ICC Code of Conduct, obscene or offensive gestures are considered a serious offence.

Such behaviour usually falls under Level 1 or Level 2 breaches of the ICC rules. Players found guilty can face fines ranging from 50 percent to 100 percent of their match fees. Demerit points may also be added to their disciplinary record. Repeated offences can even lead to suspension from matches.

Similar incidents have happened in the past as well. In 2012, Virat Kohli was fined 50 percent of his match fee for showing the middle finger to spectators during a match in Sydney.

Cricket is widely known as a “gentleman’s game,” and players are expected to maintain discipline and respect on the field. Tim David’s celebration has now sparked debate among fans and experts about sportsmanship in modern cricket.

Sports: Lucknow Super Giants’ captain Rishabh Pant faced criticism after a failed Super Over decision against Kolkata Knight Riders. LSG sent Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram to bat, with Pooran on strike against Sunil Narine.

Pooran was bowled on the first ball, leading to heavy criticism from fans. Many questioned the decision, especially because Narine had earlier troubled Pooran in a past Super Over.

LSG coach Justin Langer defended the move. He said the team trusted Pooran as he has faced Narine many times and has a strong record against him. He added that teams must back their best players even in difficult moments.

Langer also said Pooran is one of the best T20 players in recent years but is currently low on confidence. He assured that the team is working hard to help him regain form

Despite being at the bottom of the table, LSG remains hopeful. Langer said the team will use the break to improve and aim to win their remaining matches.
