Luis Enrique: Titles, not records, are important to treble-chasing PSG
Paris Saint-Germain are closing in on Ligue 1 history, but Luis Enrique's main focus is on winning a treble.
Luis Enrique's focus is on Paris Saint-Germain winning a treble, not just going unbeaten through their Ligue 1 campaign.
PSG have already confirmed their status as Ligue 1 champions, but are now aiming to become the first team in the competition's history to go an entire season unbeaten.
Luis Enrique's team are on the second-longest unbeaten streak in the Ligue 1 record books (30 games), trailing only Nantes' run of 32 matches in the 1994-95 season.
Next up is a clash with Nice on Friday, before PSG's attention turns to their Champions League semi-final clash with Arsenal, while they also have a Coupe de France final against Reims coming up in May.
"Records aren't our primary objective. It's titles. If someone assures me that if I lose to Nice, I'll go to the Champions League final, I'll sign immediately," Luis Enrique told reporters.
"But as nobody can assure me of that, and as we're an ambitious team, and as we're in a position to break that record, I think it's important for our confidence to arrive against Arsenal giving 100%."
PSG's remaining league fixtures after Nice see them take on Strasbourg, Montpellier and Auxerre.
"When you break that record, it shows what your team is made of. We've continued to progress, to be solid and consistent. That's something to be proud of," Luis Enrique said.
"It must be a motivation to continue to be as competitive as possible. The end of the season is approaching and all the objectives are still present and close at hand.
"But they're also far away, because our rivals have the same objectives. So we're very motivated going into the end of the season."
With PSG's Champions League first leg at Arsenal coming four days after Friday's game against Nice, Luis Enrique was asked about resting players.
"It's like the theory of relativity," he said.
"Everyone sees things according to their own interests. When you have a blanket, you can cover either your feet or your head. You have to choose. Every coach has his own line."
