Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique said he was disappointed with his side’s lack of intensity after losing the final Ligue 1 match of the season on Sunday and urged his players to rediscover their fire ahead of the Champions League final.
PSG, who had already secured their fifth straight title, were beaten 2-1 by local rivals Paris FC on Sunday, and Luis Enrique said it was clear motivation was an issue.
“There is nothing positive to say about this match,” he told reporters.
«When you play football without ambition or intensity, this is the kind of thing you would expect. I knew before the game how difficult it would be to play these kinds of games without a goal, but I am a bit disappointed.»
PSG will not be back in action until May 30, when it defends its Champions League crown in the final against Arsenal.
“I think my players have to overcome difficult matches and stay motivated,” the Spanish manager added.
«The last part of the season will be more complicated than usual because we played in the French Cup final last year and that was very motivating for us. But there are still two weeks to go before what I would call the most important match in our history, and I certainly hope that by that day it will no longer be necessary to motivate the players.»
