PSG only sacked last season’s head coach Christophe Galtier earlier this week, but the Ligue 1 champions were doing their diligence on his replacement way before that. The club considered a number of candidates like Thiago Motta and Julian Nagelsmann before opting for Enrique.

Speaking with reporters at his introductory press conference, Enrique promised “attacking identity” while saying his job is to “get the best out of my players individually and collectively.”

“I am committed to putting a winning team together, and I have no doubt that I will be able to do that and give PSG fans something they will like,” Enrique added.

Galtier led PSG to the national title but had a disappointing campaign in UEFA Champions League, exiting in the Round of 16. This, as well as his lack of command of the locker room, led the club to fire him after just one year in charge.

Luis Enrique has been unemployed after the end of his stint with Spain’s national team following the 2022 World Cup. He previously coached AS Roma, Celta Vigo, and Barcelona, winning a treble with Barca in 2015.

Enrique was a candidate for a number of jobs this summer and previously expressed interest in coaching in the Premier League. He was in the running for Chelsea and Tottenham vacancies, but both clubs ended up preferring other candidates.

“I do not have to try to convince Kylian [to stay],” Galtier stated on Friday ahead of PSG’s Ligue 1 match away at Brest on Saturday. “Concerning Kylian, Kylian is a PSG player and he shows it in every game. He has a great determination to succeed and to perform well in order to help bring the club up to as high a level as possible.”

Galtier went on to state that the disappointment that Mbappe expressed following the defeat is normal for any player after a tournament elimination and was not connected to any dissatisfaction at the club specifically.

Mbappe has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid and was widely expected to secure a move last summer with his contract set to expire. Instead, he signed a new three-year agreement with PSG.

Neymar was stretchered off the field during PSG’s dramatic 4-3 win against Lilli last month, with scans later revealing that he had suffered some damaged ligaments. His recovery was expected to take between two and three weeks.

When asked at a news conference on Friday about the likelihood of Neymar’s return ahead of the Champions League match, manager Christophe Galtier replied: “No, I think he is out against Bayern.”

In addition, Neymar has not engaged in any intensive treatment and rehabilitation aimed at helping him to become match fit ahead of Wednesday’s clash.

The Brazilian missed PSG’s 3-0 victory over Marseille on Sunday and will also be absent from the Ligue 1 leaders’ game against Nantes on Saturday night.

Prior to the clash, Neymar scored PSG’s second goal in what ended up being a dramatic 4-3 win, with PSG coming from behind to win the game at the death. Kylian Mbappe drew PSG level in the 87th minute while Lionel Messi won the game for Ligue 1 leaders five minutes into stoppage time.

The same ankle that Neymar damaged during the 2022 World Cup, this is the latest in a string of injury setbacks faced by PSG. Star striker Mbappe returned to the team during the midweek 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League after being injured on February 1. Now, the team faces the prospect of playing the second leg of their Champions League clash against Bayern without another star player.

Following the deterioration of relations between Neymar and PSG, the club’s president Nasser al Khelaifi reportedly met with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly in Paris earlier in the week to discuss the potential transfer of Neymar to the Premier League club.

Neymar expressed his desire to leave PSG during the last transfer window, however, he was unable to find a club willing to take him on. He remains under contract with the Ligue 1 giants until June 20247 in a deal worth €30 million a year.

Despite his high wage and the longevity of his contract, Neymar has fallen out of favor with the club. As a result, both he and PSG’s owners are on the hunt for a new club for the 31-year-old player.

Prior to Boehly’s interest in Neymar, former Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel expressed his desire to bring Neymar to Stamford Bridge. This time, however, both clubs are making moves to progress the deal, with Al Khelaifi and Boehly meeting in a luxury hotel near the Arc de Triomphe for lunch to discuss the deal as well as the failed transfer of Hakim Ziyech to Paris at the end of the January transfer window.

Kingsley Coman scored early in the second half, refusing to celebrate out of respect for his former club. This goal proved enough as the visitors managed to shut out the PSG attack, dictating the flow of play throughout the game with 54% possession and 18 shots on goal compared to PSG’s nine.

This is the second time that Coman delivered the finishing blow in a clash between these two clubs. He scored the only goal in the 2020 Champions League final to hand the trophy to Bayern.

“We played really well in the first 25 minutes and the best team on the night won. It’s an important victory but there’s a second leg coming,” coach Julian Nagelsmann commented after the game.

PSG’s attack was bolstered with the arrival of Kylian Mbappe in the second half, who returns after picking up a hamstring injury on February 1. Prior to his arrival, PSG resorted to using 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery, who became the youngest player ever in a Champions League knockout game.

The two sides meet again at the Allianz Arena on March 8.

While Mbappe reportedly did not stay with his squad for the entirety of Sunday’s training session, he is expected to be a full participant in training on Monday.

Mbappe suffered a hamstring injury on February 1 during PSG’s 3-1 victory over Montpellier. Since then, the reigning Ligue 1 champions have struggled to find form, being eliminated from the French Cup by Marseille before losing 3-1 to Monaco in their latest Ligue 1 match.

“We need to do less talking, work hard, analyze things properly,” PSG coach Christophe Galtier reflected after his team’s latest defeat. “Of course, our players have their pride, so do I. Yes, we’re worried [about facing Bayern]. But we must keep a clear head.”

Although the team appears to be in desperate need of Mbappe’s firepower up front, Galtier insisted that his team will not take any risks by using Mbappe if he is not entirely fit enough to play.

In addition to scoring his first hat trick since the World Cup final, Mbappe became the player in PSG’s history to score five goals in a single competitive match. Now, Mbappe has 25 goals in 24 games this season and takes his club tally to 196; just four short of Edison Cavani’s PSG goalscoring record.

“We came here to respect this team by playing at our level. That’s what we did, and we’re very happy,” Mbappe stated after the win. “It was a great opportunity for them and also for us, because it’s a reminder for us that we come from amateur football, and it’s important to keep this link. Even if it’s only for one game.”

PSG coach Christophe Galtier kept his word by picking a strong squad despite the gulf in class between the two sides, with both Mbappe and Neymar making the cut. Lionel Messi was rested, however, ahead of the Ligue 1 game against Reims to be played on Sunday.

Messi scored the first goal of the game for PSG while Ronaldo, who made his first return to football since the World Cup, grabbed the equalizer from the penalty spot.

The game heated up near the end of the first half when PSG defender Juan Bernat was sent off. Despite being a man down, PSG restored their lead through Marquinos after which Neymar missed a penalty. Ronaldo grabbed his second goal of the game before the halftime break after slotting in the rebound after his well-struck header hit the post.

Center back Sergio Ramos put PSG 3-2 up before both Ronaldo and Messi were substituted around the 60th-minute mark, bringing an end to their game. With Ronaldo having departed European football, there is a possibility that this game was the last time that he and Messi would face one another on the same pitch.

PSG began to run away with the game when Kylian Mbappe scored a penalty and Hugo Ekitike handed them a 5-3 lead. While Anderson Talisca pulled one back in the 94th minute, it proved too little too late as PSG held on for the win.

According to reports, Ronaldo will play 45 minutes as he looks to get some game time under his belt ahead of his Al-Nassr debut on Sunday. The Portuguese forward missed the first two games since signing for the club due to serving a two-game ban handed to him by the English Football Association.

Highly anticipated due to being the potential final showdown between Messi and Ronaldo, more than two million online ticket requests have been submitted for the game. Bidding for a VIP “Beyond Imagination” ticket for the game has already gotten underway with over $2.66 million worth of bids being submitted in an auction set to end on Tuesday.

Following the PSG exhibition game, Ronaldo is expected to make his Al-Nassr debut in Sunday’s Saudi Pro League game against Al Ettifaq.
