Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has dismissed criticism surrounding his team’s chaotic 5-4 triumph over Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinal first leg.
Speaking ahead of a Ligue 1 clash against FC Lorient, Enrique made it clear that not every critique deserves attention. He argued that when the majority enjoys a spectacle, negative opinions hold little weight.
“You don’t have to respect all viewpoints. If an opinion is flawed, it doesn’t merit respect. Many people loved the way we played football, and I’m among them. Those who prefer a different style can say what they want. I don’t care about those opinions,” Enrique stated, as relayed by Fabrizio Romano.
The French side’s high-scoring win has drawn sharp reactions, with former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney questioning how a team could be satisfied after shipping four goals. Rooney insisted that defenders and goalkeepers would be frustrated, adding that serious questions need answering.
PSG now prepare for the return leg in Munich, carrying a slender one-goal advantage into the decisive fixture.
