Barcelona v PSG: Luis Enrique praises Mayulu, says "I'm very lucky"

Paris Saint-Germain claimed a 1-2 victory against FC Barcelona (video highlights Barcelona/PSG) this Wednesday at the Montjuïc Stadium as part of the 2nd matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. After this win, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to Movistar. He notably highlighted the performance of Senny Mayulu (19-year-old attacking midfielder).

Luis Enrique: “It was a very complete match.”

A great match? Today, it was an excellent match. When you see two teams that don’t play it safe and try to hurt each other with the ball… it was a very complete match. After conceding a goal, we found our level again. The first half was balanced, and in the second, we were better. Pedri and Vitinha impressive? Pedri and Vitinha are, for me, the two best in the world. It’s great to play against these players. They have an excellent team, with young players.

Luis Enrique: “He has a lot of qualities.”

Mayulu? Mayulu is very good, you know him now. He has a lot of qualities: he can shoot with both feet, he can play inside or outside… I’m very lucky.”

It was a very high-level match, even if it didn’t quite have the intensity of a European final. There were some absentees, but above all, both teams were well equipped and we saw some great things. First from Barça, who dominated the start of the match. Then, PSG grew stronger and took control.

This was thanks in particular to their young players, including Mayulu, who confirmed that he can play at a high level. Of course, he still has areas to improve. However, the main takeaway is that he was interesting in a false 9 role and was rewarded with a goal. It highlights that Paris has a solid project. Some people criticize the transfer market on a daily basis, while we can see that there are great strengths within the squad.
