(Reuters) - Paris St Germain capped off a brilliant week with a 3-1 Ligue 1 win over rivals Olympique de Marseille at Parc des Princes on Sunday and manager Luis Enrique did not shy away from the club's ambition, saying the goal was to win everything this season.
PSG took another big step towards the Ligue 1 crown after beating second-placed Marseille to extend their lead at the top to 19 points, having also knocked out six-times European champions Liverpool from the Champions League round of 16 on Tuesday.
Chasing a first Champions League title, PSG have also booked a place in the semi-finals of the French Cup having won the Trophee des Champions in January. They will also be competing in the FIFA Club World Cup, which starts in June.
"It's been an exceptional week for us. A classic always motivates players from both teams, and I think we put on a great show tonight," Luis Enrique told reporters.
"It's difficult to get the ball to Marseille, and even more so to PSG. Each coach tried to play his cards right. It's obvious that after a game like Liverpool, we had the chance to play a classic and that kept us on our toes.
"I'm very happy with my team and the support of our supporters. Our aim is to win Ligue 1, to win all the trophies, that's our hope. We're aware of the huge challenge facing us, and we're working hard every day to achieve (what we want)."
PSG will next be in action at AS Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 on March 29.
