PSG coach Luis Enrique defends tactics for Newcastle thumping

PSG coach Luis Enrique stands by his tactics for last night's humbling at Newcastle.

PSG lost their Champions League clash 4-1 on Tyneside.

Enrique later insisted: "Matches like this are always difficult for us coaches.

"However, I think the boys had a good attitude, we were good at overcoming their pressure, also building the first opportunity, with (Ousmane) Dembele.

"Honestly, I think the result is a a little unfair, but not entirely. I congratulate Newcastle, they played a great game, but the result was too harsh.

"Formation? I thought it was the most suitable, and I still think so."
