LUIS ENRIQUE
"I think I can only speak of positive things. We started brilliantly. Two chances to score, two goals. We were lucky with the first goal, but I think it was one of the best first halves of the season. We knew there was going to be a special atmosphere because we feel it and we see it on the street with our fans. And today the team was superb. Perfect communion with our fans. It was a match and a day to pay tribute to our captain, to Marquinhos. We played against a great Olympique Lyon. We gave them virtually no chance and I think it's a great way to end the week. Now we depend on the next game to try to be champions and if not, we continue meeting our objectives.
Marquinhos is a special player, we've known him for many years and I think once I came to the club and I saw the professionalism and the leadership he has as captain and how involved he is in the team and in the squad, it's a pleasure for me as a coach to have a player of that potential. I like to talk a lot about young players because I think it's important to give them confidence. But Marquinhos is a young player because he has the ability and the right mentality to think positive and to fight and not give up. He is the most capped player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain, but he still has to play a lot more."
