Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said the prospect of completing the Ligue 1 season undefeated provides extra motivation for his team as they stand on the brink of securing another French title.
PSG are 21 points clear of nearest challengers Monaco with seven games remaining, meaning a draw at home to Angers on Saturday will be enough for them to be confirmed as champions already. Luis Enrique’s side remains unbeaten after 27 games and, therefore, on course to become the first in French top-flight history to complete the campaign without losing a single match.
“There are records which did not interest me until today, but from now on I don’t think there is a better source of motivation for us than trying to remain unbeaten for the whole league season,” the Spanish coach told reporters at PSG’s training base outside Paris on Friday.
“We are already virtually champions, and keeping this unbeaten run going will help us to be ready in the French Cup, the final of which takes place at the end of May, and in the Champions League if we manage to get to the semi-finals.”
