PSG v Strasbourg: Zaïre-Emery on his performance, Ligue 1 and the reaction

Warren Zaïre-Emery, the 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, stopped at the Ligue1+ microphone after the 3-3 draw against Strasbourg (PSG/Strasbourg video highlights) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of Matchday 8 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season. The Titi looked back on his personal performance, the competition in Ligue 1, and his team’s reaction in this encounter.

Zaïre-Emery: “I hope it continues like this.”

“How am I doing personally? I feel good, as I said. I went with the U21s to build confidence, get touches on the ball, and play forward. Personally, I think today wasn’t a bad game from me. I hope it continues like this.

Zaïre-Emery: “It shows the strength of our team.”

Stiffer competition this season? I don’t think it will be tougher than last season. We approach every match the same way. They’re all difficult games. Coming back from the break and playing Strasbourg, a young team that puts a lot of intensity into duels, wasn’t easy. We fell behind but managed to come back; it shows the strength of our team. What changed in the second half? We had a good reaction. The coach (Luis Enrique) spoke at halftime and said we had to do better. We came back with different intentions in the second half, and the substitutions were good. If we can’t win, we have to learn not to lose. It prepares us well for the Champions League match (Tuesday in Leverkusen).” remarks relayed by L’Équipe.

Zaïre-Emery remains humble and knows that top-level football always demands confirmation, doing even better than last night. But he produced a good performance, in line with recent weeks. The PSG midfielder is regaining confidence and impact in his duels. It’s very encouraging, and we can only wish him to keep going in this direction.

This will help PSG achieve their objectives, starting with leading Ligue 1. That could change this weekend, with Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille able to move ahead if they win against Nice and Le Havre. Nothing alarming; there are games left. But they cannot dawdle. Getting players back from the infirmary will also be an asset, hoping there won’t be another wave of injuries.

Paris must now turn to the Champions League, which returns this Tuesday with a trip to face Bayer Leverkusen. We know PSG will have a strong squad, ideally with a few more returns. That will make it easier to string results together. Even though there are already great resources in this squad, as shown in recent weeks and again last night in coming back to equalize. The Parisians never give up and have confidence in their game—essential ingredients to achieve another great season.
