Ilya Zabarnyi, the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender, stopped in the mixed zone after PSG’s 1-0 defeat to Lens (Lens/PSG video highlights) this Sunday at Stade Bollaert as part of the 2026 Trophée des Champions.
How do you explain the defeat?
There’s nothing to explain. You saw everything. We dominated a lot, but we didn’t score. That’s where the problem is. Sometimes that happens in football. There are days when you win, others when you lose. Today was not our day.
We’re going to analyze it and keep working because we have a season coming up, so we’ll be ready.
A physical problem or a football problem?
No, I don’t think so. I don’t see the problem. I think we played a great match, we managed to play our game, to create. It’s a matter of efficiency.
What do you think about having played this match in Lens?
We’ve already seen it, it’s difficult. They have a great atmosphere and a great team. Congratulations to them, they played well.
What did Luis Enrique say after the match?
To change things a bit, to play faster and to keep moving forward. We did some good things. We have to keep creating chances and we will score.
What more was needed to score?
I don’t know. That’s football. You can’t win every match, otherwise it wouldn’t be interesting. With our chances, we didn’t score. They did.
