Luis Enrique urges PSG to forget disappointing draw and focus on Champions League

Luis Enrique had no issues with Paris Saint-Germain's disappointing Ligue 1 draw with Reims as he quickly turned his attention to qualifying in the Champions League.

PSG laboured to a 1-1 draw at Parc des Princes as Ousmane Dembele's second-half opener was cancelled out by Keito Nakamura.

That result left Luis Enrique's side 10 points clear of second-placed Marseille, who could cut the gap to seven when they visit Lille on Sunday.

The PSG head coach said his focus will turn straight to the Champions League, however, where the Ligue 1 champions need to win away at Stuttgart on Wednesday to progress into the knockout play-offs.

"I have nothing to question my players [about]. I don't think that in terms of energy the team was bad. In fact, I think it was good," Luis Enrique said of Saturday's draw.

"I think we have fulfilled the objective of managing this week in the best way to be prepared.

"Now we have to play this next Champions League game to confirm our qualification - to win or at least draw it. That's the objective."

New signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who joined from Napoli this month, assisted Dembele's deflected opener in his first game for the French giants.

The Georgia international impressed, too, having the most touches in the opponent's box (nine) and also competing for the most duels (19).

"It's clear that it's a new situation for him, but it's his first game, I hope, out of many, I think he was in a positive line," Luis Enrique added on the dazzling winger.

"He's a player who usually has the ball a lot more than the opposition and can help us generate superiority, which is a happy and fortunate thing for me as a coach." 

Luis Enrique will know improvements are needed at Stuttgart in midweek, given PSG have failed to win two of their last five games in which they scored the first goal, after winning their previous 11 such games in Ligue 1.
