Luis Enrique : ‘We can only be happy tonight’

The Paris Saint-Germain coach and Presnel Kimpembe reflect on their 2-0 victory over Le Mans FC in the Coupe de France Round of 16 on Tuesday 4th February at the Stade Marie Marvingt.

LUIS ENRIQUE

'It was a typical Coupe de France match. Dangerous, unpredictable. There are a lot of things you can't control. But I think we did a good job. We're in the quarter-finals and we were able to give the players some minutes and a rest, so we have to be happy. Presko is the big news. I think he's happy. It's a special moment for him, and together it's easier.'

PRESNEL KIMPEMBE

It wasn't an easy match. We're going home with the win. We know that the Coupe de France is important to us. It's a difficult competition, we've seen that with the other Ligue 1 clubs who have gone out and who've had difficult matches. We've managed to qualify for the quarter finals this evening, and that's nothing but positive. My return? Of course, there's lots of emotion. It makes me happy, after almost two years out, it makes me happy, there's a lot of emotion. There's a mixture of a lot of feelings and honestly I just feel proud to wear this shirt with this badge again, and to have the chance to make the most of it with my team mates.'
