The Parisians go into Saturday바카라s home clash with bottom-of-the-table Clermont 12 points clear of second-placed Brest and right on track to claim the domestic crown for the sixth time in seven seasons.
They will turn their attention to Wednesday바카라s Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash with Barca at the Parc des Princes immediately afterwards, but Enrique insists not before.
He told a press conference: 바카라We바카라ve got some important matches ahead of us and we바카라re not champions yet, so we have to play to win.
바카라There바카라s this desire to win everything, and I want players who think about the match against Clermont and not the rest.
바카라It바카라s going to be a very tough game, without doubt one of the toughest of the season. We바카라re in first place, they바카라re 18th and they바카라re going to give it everything they바카라ve got.
바카라We have to see it as a challenge in front of our supporters because we바카라re getting ready to suffer. But we바카라ll have the support of our fans, who will be right behind us.바카라
PSG, who made it through to the Coupe de France final with victory over Rennes on Wednesday evening, are unbeaten in 26 games in all competitions ahead of the weekend fixture, in which influential skipper Marquinhos returned from injury.
Enrique said: 바카라As well as being the captain, the role model on and off the pitch, he is very involved as if he were a young player.
바카라He has a vocation to improve, he always wants to progress. When you see that kind of mentality in more experienced players, it바카라s a powerful thing.
바카라He바카라s a great footballer, but off the pitch he바카라s someone who always listens and wants to help the team improve.바카라
Despite Clermont바카라s difficulties this season, they will take heart from September바카라s 0-0 in the reverse fixture, and also last season바카라s final-day 3-2 victory in the capital in which they trailed 2-0 before launching a remarkable fightback.
However this time around, manager Pascal Gastien with be without the suspended Elbasan Rashani and the injured Maxime Gonalons, Cheick Oumar Konate, Adam Mabrouk and Stan Berkani, although Johan Gastien and Neto Borges are available once again.
