The fifth round of the 2025/26 Ligue 1 season will feature a key match, with defending champions Paris Saint-Germain traveling to face Marseille. Luis Enrique stated at a press conference that it was crucial for the team to remain calm and know how to prepare for such a match.

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Lens 2-0 in the last round of the league thanks to a brace from Barkola. After four consecutive wins, Paris Saint-Germain currently leads the standings with 12 points.

In addition, in the first round of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Atalanta from Serie A 4-0 after goals from Marquinhos, Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes and Gonzalo Ramos.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said, "After analyzing the game against Atalanta, I think it was a very complete performance. We managed to break the opponent's high press and control the ball every time in physical confrontation, which is always difficult to do. We played well and could have scored more goals because we created many clear opportunities."

Speaking about their upcoming match against Marseille, Luis Enrique said, "When a very important game comes, everyone gets nervous. But for me, as a coach with experience in this kind of game, it's more important to stay calm than to get overly excited. We understand the importance of this game and the rivalry between the two clubs, and we've trained very well."

"I don't know if the gap between the two teams has widened, but away games are always difficult. Different factors can play a key role in a game. We are calm and relaxed. We came here to play well and strive to be better than our opponents. It's only the fifth round of this season, so it's hard to say where the overall level gap between the two teams lies."

In addition, Enrique also said, "All coaches, players and fans will feel the pressure, but these are the games we like to participate in. We like to walk into the stadium and feel the passion. It doesn't matter who is the favorite team. We need to prepare for it like any other game."

"All games are difficult, especially away from home, but we are used to it. We know how to prepare for such games and we hope to break through the pressure in the early stages of the game."
