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.
Any manager who replaces Luis Enrique would use the same tactics. Because there is no need for them to focus on the French league right now. The only goal is the Champions League title and the away win makes them the natural favorite against Arsenal. Also, the fact that the match will be played in France is a great advantage for them. I expect Paris Saint-Germain to win the return match, advance to the next round and make it to the final.
