Where is Luis Enrique? The PSG manager's latest move

"I've been seeing rugby coaches analyze matches from a very different perspective for a while now. I like the ability to look for that improvement. I wanted to watch the first half from the stands, and it's great . It's different. I can control everything. It's an interesting option that I'm going to use in the future. After that, you can perfectly give the halftime talk because you've seen exactly who played well on the field. We have a lot of direct information."

That's the explanation given by Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) , to reporters after watching the first half of the La Liga match against Lens from high above, sitting in the stands. The Asturian coach liked the experience, and he repeated it this Wednesday.

Minutes before the kick-off of PSG-Atalanta, the Asturian coach, with his left arm in a sling after a serious bicycle accident , climbed the steps of the Parc des Princes, sat in an open booth, put on some headphones and from there watched and directed the team until halftime.

By the time halftime arrived and he went into the locker room, his team was already comfortably up 2-0, with goals from Marquinhos and Kvaratskhelia. Later, with Luis Enrique giving instructions from the touchline, Nuno Mendes and Ramos extended the lead to 4-0.

In another of the matchday's big games, Bayern Munich soundly defeated Chelsea (3-1). Harry Kane , the German team's English striker, once again showed his accuracy, scoring twice against the world club champions.

Another double-scorer of the night was Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram. His goal sealed the Italians' 2-0 victory at Ajax Amsterdam.

The other two matches of the evening ended in draws: Olympiacos, managed by José Luis Mendilibar , and Pafos , coached by Juan Carlos Carcedo , drew 0-0. Slavia Prague and debutants Bodo drew 2-2.

The opening day of the Champions League concludes this Thursday with the following matches: Club Brugge-Monaco (18:45), Copenhagen-Leverkusen (18:45), Manchester City-Naples (21:00), Eintracht Frankfurt-Galatasaray (21:00), Sporting-Kairat (21:00) and Newcastle-Barcelona (21:00).
