Luis Enrique wants Paris Saint-Germain to conclude their Ligue 1 campaign with a “strong performance” against Auxerre and build momentum before their Coupe de and Champions League finals.
PSG are just over two weeks away from potentially completing a memorable treble, including the elusive Champions League trophy.
Luis Enrique’s side completed part one in a fairly routine manner by securing a fourth successive Ligue 1 title with six matches remaining.
The champions could add to their silverware collection by defeating Reims in the Coupe de final on May 24, before facing Inter in the Champions League showpiece seven days later.
However, before any of that, PSG must complete their domestic season at home to mid-table Auxerre on Saturday.
Luis Enrique, who says he will continue to rotate his squad with the aim of maintaining their fitness levels, is still demanding the best from his players, despite the Ligue 1 title being safely in the bag.
“We want to put in a strong performance to prepare us to be competitive in the two finals that lie ahead. That is our goal,” he told reporters during his pre-match press conference.
“There are three games left, and we are going to try to manage that in the best way possible, so that we can head into the two finals with most of our players available and in their best form.
