Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique downplayed his side's poor start to the 2026/2027 Ligue 1 season after a 2-1 home defeat to Monaco. Enrique called the loss "inexplicable" despite PSG captain Marquinhos scoring first. Flavio Nazinho and Stanis Idumbo secured Monaco's victory. This result marks Enrique's worst Ligue 1 campaign start since taking over from Christophe Galtier in July 2023, with PSG earning only two points from nine possible. Despite this, Enrique extended his contract until 2030. Midfielders Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz, and defenders Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, and Senny Mayulu also signed extensions, with President Nasser al-Khelaifi emphasizing long-term building. PSG, under Enrique, has won 13 trophies, including three Ligue 1 titles and two Champions League crowns, and will begin their Champions League defense against Slovan Bratislava.
