PSG keen for Coupe de France with big week ahead
Luis Enrique rejected any suggestion that the Coupe de France final against Reims was a distraction for Paris Saint-Germain, with the UEFA Champions League showpiece around the corner.
PSG has already won the Ligue 1 title and the Trophee des Champions this season, but still has a chance to add to its silverware haul with two games left this season.
It faces Reims on Sunday (AEST) before having the chance to end its long wait for a first UEFA Champions League crown when it takes on Inter Milan at Allianz Arena in Munich on 1 June (AEST).
"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 said.
"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 is eyeing a 16th French Cup title, and is the heavy favourite against Reims, which is in the Ligue 1 relegation play-offs.
"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 per cent to win this trophy. You have to win a final, you can't let it slip through your fingers.
"Sometimes it's better to play tight right to the end so you don't slack off. 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."
