Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has accepted responsibility for his side's disappointing defeat to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain suffered a disappointing defeat to Premier League side Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday, leaving manager Luis Enrique in a reflective mood.

Goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka in the first half proved too much for the Ligue 1 champions, who struggled to produce a meaningful response.

After the game, Enrique took full responsibility for the defeat, acknowledging Arsenal's superiority.

"I take the blame for this loss," Enrique stated unequivocally.

"I am responsible for this."

He praised Arsenal's intensity and work rate, admitting his team was outmuscled.

"Arsenal were much better in terms of intensity and pressure. They won every duel."

The defeat serves as a reality check for PSG, who sit atop the Ligue 1 table. They'll aim to rebound against OGC Nice on Sunday.
