"We are not losers": Luis Enrique after PSG's defeat in the Club World Cup final

"How do you explain this defeat ? Was it one game too many in a very long season? That's football. I think we need to rewatch the match to fully analyze what happened. Chelsea started the match very well with very high pressure. They put us in difficulty. We had chances to score but we didn't. Overall, they deserved their victory. On Friday, I told you that Chelsea has a good team, and they showed it."

We saw you get very angry at the end and come to blows with some Chelsea players . Can you explain your reaction? At the end of the match, there was a situation that was completely avoidable for everyone. I tried to separate the players to avoid tension building up. Different people were involved in this. We had to avoid problems. I wanted to prevent it from getting out of hand.

Your team is young. Did they fall prey to their provocations? Regarding the match, I think it was difficult for us in the opening minutes. They put a lot of energy into it, but it depends on how well you're able to take advantage of the game situations.

"It's an interesting format. It could become a very high-level tournament. I liked it."

You're coming off a four-trophy season. Despite this defeat, are you optimistic about next season? What do you think? It's nice being the PSG coach because you know who helps the team. I think the important thing is to enjoy the holidays; they're short, very short. Knowing how to savor them is important.

Despite this final failure, are you waiting for all the people who are celebrating your defeat? We're not losers, we haven't failed. There was a champion. We fell, but the loser is the one who doesn't get up.

As a coach, what is your opinion on this Club World Cup? You always have to try to find out who the best team in the world is. It's an interesting format. It can become a very high-level tournament. I liked it. We would have liked to have played better in the final, that's how it is.
