The club football season is reaching its climax with crucial matches in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League. As the end of the season approaches, the World Cup 2026 looms on the horizon.

Enrique’s perspective on player game time

During a press conference on Friday, Luis Enrique was asked about managing players’ game time with the World Cup 2026 in mind. The Spanish coach was forthright in his response:

“I’m the coach of PSG, and that’s my focus. I’m not interested in anything else. My priority is managing the situation at PSG. It’s very clear,” he stated, addressing the journalists at the PSG Campus.

PSG’s strategy against Angers

This Saturday evening, PSG faces Angers in the 31st round of Ligue 1. Holding a four-point lead over RC Lens, PSG aims to maintain its top position.
