Paris St Germain coach Luis Enrique is eager to add more titles to the club's collection this season, despite being on the cusp of securing a fourth consecutive Ligue 1 crown. Enrique emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on both domestic and European titles.

PSG took a significant step towards securing the Ligue 1 title with a resounding 6-1 victory over relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne on Saturday. The win meant that PSG would clinch the title if AS Monaco and Nice drew later in the day. However, Monaco's 2-1 win over Nice temporarily delayed PSG's title celebrations, leaving them waiting to officially secure their 14th league title.

Luis Enrique's PSG are now on the verge of winning their 14th Ligue 1 title, which would be their second consecutive crown under the Spanish coach. Enrique will be looking to keep his team focused on achieving more success this season, both domestically and in European competitions.

Luis Enrique, the coach of Paris St Germain, is confident that his team has already demonstrated their superiority in Ligue 1, despite not yet being officially crowned champions. “We are already champions, we have been for a few weeks now. I think we've been the best team in the league from the beginning until now and it's just an anecdote when we become champions,” Enrique told reporters.

Enrique expressed his desire for PSG to officially secure the title in their next match, which would allow them to celebrate with their fans at the Parc des Princes in Paris. “I'd like Nice not to draw against Monaco so we can celebrate the title with our fans at the Parc des Princes in Paris, we'd love that,” he added. PSG's dominant performance this season has left them unbeaten in 27 games and leading the standings by 21 points over second-placed Monaco with seven games remaining.

Luis Enrique, who previously led Barcelona to a treble in 2015, emphasized the importance of maintaining intensity and avoiding complacency in order to achieve similar success with PSG. “We have two months of competition where we're all playing for titles again, and we have to be competitive in all competitions. That's the hard part. The easy thing is to relax, the easy thing is to drop the intensity. We can't let that happen,” he said.

With the French Cup semi-finals and Champions League quarter-finals on the horizon, Enrique reiterated PSG's ambition to win every available trophy. The team faces second-tier Dunkerque in the French Cup semi-finals on Tuesday and Aston Villa in a two-leg Champions League quarter-final tie next month. “We want to win everything, that's our goal, to compete, win and take every single trophy,” the coach added.
