Paris FC/PSG – Luis Enrique hits out at press, gives Dembélé update | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain lost 2-1 to Paris FC (Paris FC/PSG video highlights) this Sunday at Stade Jean Bouin as part of the 34th round of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, PSG coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference.

Enrique: “I don’t think it’s very serious”

What is the latest news on Ousmane Dembélé?

I have nothing to say about Ousmane, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow (Monday) to know. I think it’s fatigue. Anything we can say today would only be speculation. But I don’t think it’s very serious, we’ll know more tomorrow.

What do you take away from this match?

I take away nothing positive from this match. When you play football without ambition and without intensity, these are normal things that happen. I knew before the match how difficult games without a real objective can be, but I’m a little disappointed. I can understand all the players, but to be a PSG player, things have to be different. I expect much more from my players.

What did you think of the organization around the celebration of this 14th French league title?

I’m not interested in that controversy. Nothing. We are champions, and I celebrated that title two weeks ago. It doesn’t matter for this celebration.

Enrique: “They had intentions, but without intensity and without ambition”

Are you annoyed by your team’s sporting performance tonight?

You can lose, it happens, but I expect more from my players. That’s what being a professional is about. They had intentions, but without intensity and without ambition, it’s difficult to play football. It’s difficult to play a match like that, but they have to overcome it.

The final part of the season will be more complicated than the previous one. Last year, we played in the Coupe de France final, which allowed us to stay focused and stay motivated. But now, there are 13 days left before the most important match in our history. Surely, there will be no need for a coach to motivate the players. Today, there was. I’m disappointed.

Luis Enrique: “We’re going to play a little match among ourselves next weekend”

What is the plan for the two weeks before the Champions League final?

We’re going to try to do a bit of everything. Rest, physically and mentally, but also work. We’re going to play a little match among ourselves next weekend and try to have a slightly heavier football workload.”

Is this the beginning of real competition in Paris, at least at derby level for you? Is the derby spirit starting in Paris?
