Coupe de France final no distraction to PSG, says Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique rejected any suggestion that the Coupe de France final against Reims was a distraction for Paris Saint-Germain, with the Champions League showpiece around the corner.

PSG have already won the Ligue 1 title and the Trophee des Champions this season, but still have a chance to add to their silverware haul with two games left this season.

They face Reims on Saturday before having the chance to end their long wait for a first Champions League crown when they take on Inter at the Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31.

"All the professional players know that playing in a Cup final is very special. It's a special match and the details count," Luis Enrique told reporters.

"It's not difficult to concentrate on [Saturday]'s game. None of the players will be distracted.

"We want to make history from day one... We're here now, and we need to put the icing on the cake."

PSG are eyeing a 16th French Cup title, and are heavy favourites against Reims, who are in the Ligue 1 relegation playoffs.

Luis Enrique's side are given an 80.4% chance of winning the Coupe de France final in 90 minutes by the Opta supercomputer, with Reims' hopes sitting at just 7.8%. The likelihood of a draw sit at 11.7%, which would mean extra time and possibly penalties.

"It doesn't matter what Reims' situation is at the moment... We know how to find spaces and points to exploit. A lot can happen in a match, and you have to prepare well. We've got one more day of preparation," the Spaniard said.

"Everyone will be giving 130% to win this trophy. You have to win a final, you can't let it slip through your fingers."

While PSG have long wrapped up their league title, Inter face an all-important Serie A clash against Como on Friday.

Table-toppers Napoli and second-placed Inter go into the last day of the Serie A season still fighting for the title, with one point separating the two sides. Should they both finish on the same points tally, the two sides will face off in a play-off on Monday.

"Sometimes it's better to play tight right to the end so you don't slack off," Luis Enrique added. "We had to stay focused.

"I don't know if that's positive or negative. I'm trying to see what's positive about our schedule."
