Luis Enrique faces first warning after PSG's Super Cup defeat

Paris Saint-Germain's defeat in the French Super Cup to Lens serves as a warning for coach Luis Enrique to make adjustments before the league season begins. The loss, which ended PSG's recent dominance in the competition, saw a combative Lens side prove effective.

Despite the result, Luis Enrique stated he was "happy with what (he) saw during the whole match," particularly the "intensity" shown by his players. This sentiment aims to ease pressure just a week before the French league kicks off with a home game against Rennes.

“

I am happy with what we saw during the whole match. Not with the result, obviously, but with what we did. Especially with the intensity that our players showed, particularly at this moment of the season.

The club is unaccustomed to such final defeats since Luis Enrique took charge in the summer of 2023. This Super Cup loss is their second final defeat under him, following a loss in the Club World Cup last summer, contrasting with ten previous victories.

Luis Enrique is finalizing his squad, which recently added Ferran Torres and Mika Godts. However, he remained tight-lipped about the potential departure of Bradley Barcola, stating he would discuss transfers only after the market closes. Barcola's absence from the Super Cup final suggests his time at PSG may be ending.

I will talk about the transfer market when the transfer market has ended.
