The visitors had twice put themselves two goals ahead going int🌜o second-half stoppage time before a 92nd-minute goal from Corentin Tolisso led to late drama.
But they were able to hold on, extending their winning run to eight games in all competitions and maintaining their unbeaten Ligue 1 campaign. PSG also stretched their lead at the top to 13ඣ points.
While Luis Enrique was happy with another dominant performance, he acknowledged they lost control of the mꦛatch against sixth-placed Lyon, having to defend their advantage until the end.
"The 🔜second half started with good intensity, we scored two goals, but there were two important moments where we continued to speed up the play and go for goals," he told a press conference.
"When🗹 you play too much with your heart, your head stops working, and with a two-goal 🦩advantage you have to control the game. When there is a team that already have it lost, there are risks.
"The 🏅game got complicated at the end and in the last few minutes there was a f▨eeling of defending by overloading which, in my opinion, is not the best way to defend."
This victory was PSG's 🃏first match since hammering Brest 7-0 in the Champions League knockout play-offs in midweek, which resulted in a 10-0 aggregate victory. Luis Enrique was pleased with his team's mentality to keep winning, having ൩not lost since November.
"Our idea has been to play attack🐽ing football from the start. We look for players to offer fans no🌸t only victories and titles but also an attractive way of playing," he said.
"Today the team has continued to improve. In terms of pers🅷onality the team has grown in a match that became tense, the second half was wonderful in terms of emotional and physical control.
"The match went crazy and when you're winning y🔴ou can't go crazy but I think the team grew again today in personality and character."
Next up for PSG is a visit to fourt🎐h-tier Stade Briochin in the Coupe de France quarter-final on Wednes🐈day.
