Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has responded with confidence after the French champions opened the new Ligue 1 campaign without a single victory in their first three matches.
PSG’s difficult start continued on Friday night when they suffered a 2–1 defeat at home to AS Monaco, leaving the defending champions still searching for their first league win of the season.
Despite the disappointing results, Enrique refused to show concern about PSG’s chances of retaining the Ligue 1 title.
‘If You Want to Bet, Let’s Bet’
Following the defeat to Monaco, the Spanish manager was asked about PSG’s slow start and whether it could affect their title ambitions.
His response was characteristically confident.
“If you want to bet on who will be champions, let’s bet… but I’m saying nothing!”
The remark underlined Enrique’s belief that it is far too early to draw conclusions from the opening three matches of a long Ligue 1 campaign.
PSG may have failed to win any of their first three league games, but Enrique appears convinced that the team’s overall quality will eventually show over the course of the season.
Monaco Complete Stunning Comeback
PSG appeared to be on course for victory against Monaco after taking the lead, but the visitors produced a dramatic comeback to secure all three points.
The result means Monaco have made a perfect start to the season, winning all three of their opening league matches and establishing themselves as early title contenders.
For PSG, however, the defeat represents another frustrating result after two draws in their previous league fixtures.
The champions now face questions about their form, particularly with rivals already collecting valuable points at the top of the table.
Enrique Refuses to Panic
Rather than focusing on the negative results, Enrique emphasized the bigger picture.
The former Barcelona manager has enjoyed enormous success since taking charge of PSG, guiding the club to major domestic honours and European glory. His recent contract extension, which keeps him at the club until 2030, also demonstrates the confidence PSG’s hierarchy continues to have in his leadership.
Enrique also suggested that PSG deserved more from their performance against Monaco.
According to the manager, if the two teams played the same match repeatedly, PSG would win the majority of those encounters.
That assessment highlights his belief that the result does not necessarily reflect the balance of quality between the two sides.
Three Games Do Not Decide a Title
While PSG’s start is certainly unusual, the Ligue 1 title is decided over an entire season rather than three matches.
The Parisian club remains one of the strongest squads in French football and will be expected to recover quickly as the campaign progresses.
There is also a long way to go, meaning the early league table is unlikely to resemble the final standings.
For now, Enrique appears more interested in keeping his team focused than reacting to the noise surrounding their results.
His message is clear: do not judge PSG’s season after three games.
Whether that confidence proves justified will become clearer in the coming months. But if Enrique’s track record is anything to go by, writing PSG off this early could prove to be a serious mistake.
For PSG supporters, the challenge now is simple — turn Enrique’s confidence into results on the pitch.
