Luis Enrique's PSG now want to focus their full attention on the Champions League match. PSG are not giving much effort in today's match against Strasbourg. PSG are trailing 2-0 at the end of the first half and the coach has rested PSG's main goalkeeper Donnarumma. Luis Enrique has also rested several important players in the squad.
However, PSG does not need to win this match. The team has already secured the Ligue 1 title. Now their only target is to qualify for the Champions League final. PSG defeated Arsenal in the first leg match. We are waiting to see how PSG will play in the home match. Luis Enrique will try his best to qualify for the final.
Luis Enrique is really smart in implementing his own strategy for the rest of the season because he knows that his focus for now is no longer on Ligue 1, but on the Champions League because PSG has won the Ligue 1 trophy for this season so the defeat is nothing for PSG. So choosing to rest some of their key players was a pretty good option for PSG and it actually worked out very well because Luis Enrique is aware that PSG still have to play better in the second leg of this season's Champions League semi-finals in order to make Arsenal lose again.
Actually, Technical Director Luis Enrique more or less guesses what kind of formation and tactics Arsenal will use on the field. That's why he is sending Paris Saint-Germain on the field with an insignificant squad in the league. The championship is already certain and there is nothing left to lose. That's why the poor results they have achieved are not important to them. Right now, their complete focus is on how Arsenal will play and the match they will play in France. They don't want any surprises and they are aware that Arsenal has to attack. That's why they will wear Arsenal out with the best tactics against them with the players who are well rested. Resting the players will give them strength. It was the right move anyway.
