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.”
