Paris Saint-Germain won 3-0 against Metz (video summary PSG/Metz) this Saturday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 23rd day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After this match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference. 

Enrique "We must continue to improve"

What did you think of Dro Fernandez's first start?

"He showed his quality, his ability to defend, to carry the ball. He showed his level, we must go step by step. He is very young and in a period of development. What I saw on the field is very good."

Are you keeping an eye on the match between Lens and Monaco?

"We watched a bit of the Lens match before entering our match talk. Lens is having a very high-level season. It motivates us. It will be difficult. We must continue to improve because Lens and Lyon are in a very good moment."

Enrique "he is intelligent with the ball and makes incredible physical efforts"

Do you appreciate Warren Zaïre-Emery's versatility?

"It's Warren, that's his style! He is intelligent. He plays in relation to his teammates, he is intelligent with the ball and makes incredible physical efforts. He is a wonderful player!"

Why did you take Désiré Doué off at halftime?

"It's nothing. He was a bit tired. We changed him for that reason."

Is Monaco's victory a wake-up call for PSG?

"Who can think it's already settled? It will be the second match and if Monaco wins, they advance. We must play the same way and seek to win."

Can Ilya Zabarnyi be positioned in midfield?

"He is a very great player but he is a central defender. A midfielder is more a player with additional individual qualities. It's more an attacker than a defender, a midfielder. I am very happy with Zabarnyi's level. It's his first season and it's always difficult to have confidence when arriving."
