"Annoyed to be second? No, it's deserved. One team has one more point than us, no problem, it's deserved,"
"It's a motivation for us as a team. We easily won the championship last season. This season is unusual with a lot of injuries, but we're having a very good season."
"We'll see over the whole season who the best team is; right now it's clearly Lens."
"Right now the league is more motivating: there's Rennes, Lens, Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Strasbourg, Monaco too. That's a motivation. The players have the same confidence. We know our strengths, what we want to do."
Paris Saint-Germain face a tighter Ligue 1 title race with Lens leading and several rivals performing strongly. Luis Enrique said being second is deserved and framed the close standings as added motivation after an easier title last season. Injuries have complicated PSG's campaign, but the manager emphasized unchanged mentality, team confidence, and awareness of opponents like Rennes, Marseille, Lyon, Lille, Strasbourg and Monaco. PSG prepare for difficult upcoming matches, including a game against Rennes. Opta still rates PSG's title chances highly at 86.4%. Bradley Barcola has scored four Ligue 1 goals against Rennes.
