Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Luis Enrique was happy with Filipe Luís's appointment but was clearly concerned about the challenge ahead. The PSG coach cited the importance of the upcoming match, recalling Monaco's 3-1 win over PSG in March. "We want to win against a team that beat us last time we met at the Parc des Princes," he said.
Filipe Luís has taken over at Monaco, replacing Sébastien Pocognoli, who left the club after seven months. The Brazilian's experience in Europe as a player, where he won titles with Atlético Madrid, will be put to the test as he looks to lead Monaco to victory against PSG.
