Luis Enrique on PSG's 6-0 and Lens's 9-1: "These are accidents"

Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Villarreal. Lens were thrashed by Como. Two of the wildest Champions League scorelines of the week, and PSG coach Luis Enrique has one word for both: accidents.

Speaking on Friday, the Spaniard refused to get carried away.

What did he say?

PSG won 6-0 at Villarreal in the Champions League. Luis Enrique was not in a celebratory mood. "When a team scores four goals in eight minutes, the match is over," he said. "For us, it's almost strange and hard to play. I don't like that type of match."

He added that he has already forgotten the game. "It's the past and it doesn't interest us," he said.

Why bring up Lens?

Because the night after PSG's win, Lens suffered a historic collapse at home. They lost 9-1 to Como, the worst result ever for a French club in the Champions League.

Luis Enrique saw the same thing in both games. "It's an accident, it can happen to any team," he said. "These are things in football you can't explain, but it's not normal."

He was careful not to pile on Lens, last season's Ligue 1 runners-up. "This result is not the gap between Lens and Como. Lens is a very good team," he said. He praised Como, who he said played "fantastically". PSG will face the Italian side on 20 January, and he used the game to scout them.

His point applies to his own team too. "We're on the positive side because we won, but it's not the real gap," he said of PSG and Villarreal.

What's next for PSG?

A home game against Troyes in Ligue 1 on Saturday at 21:05, on matchday 10. PSG have been unbeaten since early September in all competitions. A win would be their eleventh in a row before the international break.

You might think the coach would be relaxed. He isn't. "Expectations are very high, everyone thinks we'll win by I don't know how many goals to nil," he said. "When expectations are at that level, I'm worried."

The message is simple: forget Villarreal, focus on Troyes.
