Luis Enrique: “Beating All 4 Premier League Teams? Well… the League of Farmers, You Know?”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique offered a pointed, tongue-in-cheek response following his side’s stunning run of victories against Premier League opposition this season. Speaking to reporters after PSG’s latest European triumph, the Spanish tactician couldn’t resist taking a jab at the often-repeated criticism of Ligue 1.
“Beating all four Premier League teams? Well… the league of farmers, you know? We are the league of farmers,” Enrique said, smiling wryly.
His comments come in the wake of PSG’s dominance in continental clashes this season, having dispatched top English clubs with style and tactical mastery. Critics, especially on social media, have long ridiculed Ligue 1 as a “farmer’s league” — a term used dismissively to suggest it lacks the quality and competitiveness of England’s Premier League. Enrique’s sharp retort flips that narrative on its head.
The results speak for themselves. PSG’s tactical discipline, attacking flair, and squad depth have been on full display. Under Enrique’s stewardship, the team has combined youthful energy with veteran composure, handling the Premier League’s best with surprising ease.
“The disrespect towards Ligue 1 has gone on too long,” Enrique continued. “We’ve shown that we can play against anyone — and win. This isn’t just about PSG, it’s about recognizing the talent and passion across all French clubs.”
Luis Enrique’s remark isn’t just banter; it’s a bold reclamation of pride for Ligue 1. With performances to back it up, the so-called “league of farmers” may now be redefining what it means to cultivate champions.
