Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique delivered a blunt response to criticism surrounding his team’s defending during the high-intensity Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, insisting that not every opinion deserves respect.
The match between PSG and Bayern Munich has been widely described as one of the most entertaining encounters in recent Champions League history, with both sides showcasing attacking quality and relentless tempo. However, some observers questioned the defensive structure displayed during the game, a criticism that Luis Enrique firmly rejected.
Luis Enrique: “I think you don’t have to respect all opinions, because if it’s a shitty opinion, you shouldn’t respect it.”
The Spanish coach made it clear that football philosophies differ, and not everyone will appreciate the same style of play. Still, he emphasized that the entertaining nature of the match resonated with a large portion of football fans worldwide.
Luis Enrique: “There will be people who like to play football this way, which is the majority, and I include myself here. And others who don’t like playing like this.”
Rather than focusing on defensive scrutiny, Enrique pointed to the overwhelming reaction from supporters who enjoyed the spectacle created by two elite European sides. The match featured relentless attacking movements, technical brilliance, and moments of individual quality that kept fans on edge throughout.
Luis Enrique: “What we showed is that the majority of people who love football enjoyed it.”
The PSG vs Bayern Munich clash will likely be remembered not for defensive criticism, but for its spectacle, pace, and attacking brilliance.
