Luis Enrique warns PSG that Villarreal clash will be anything but easy
PSG manager Luis Enrique insists tonight’s clash with Villarreal – referred to in the briefing as Villareal – will not be easy. The French side arrive after back‑to‑back Champions League games against Manchester City and Barcelona. Those fixtures could make the Villarreal match feel like a breather.
Yet Enrique warned his players not to relax in any way. In yesterday’s press conference he urged the squad to “run the whole game”. He added that readiness for any scenario is vital and that the club wants to improve on last year’s qualification. Enrique said believing the recent results guarantee a win tomorrow is wrong without ambition, quality and intention to run the whole game.

The contrast between a seemingly lighter fixture and the manager’s relentless demands underlines PSG’s determination to maintain intensity.
