PSG v Strasbourg: Zaïre-Emery on his game and Ligue 1 reaction

Warren Zaïre-Emery, a 19-year-old midfielder from Paris Saint-Germain, stopped in the mixed zone after the 3-3 draw against Strasbourg (PSG/Strasbourg video summary) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 8th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. The young player reflected on his personal performance, the competition in Ligue 1, and his team's reaction in this match.

Zaïre-Emery "I hope it continues like this."

"How are you personally? I feel good, as I said. I went to the Espoirs to gain this confidence, touch the ball, and play forward. Personally, I think today wasn't a bad match for me. I hope it continues like this."

Zaïre-Emery "It shows the strength of our team."

A tougher competition this season? I don't think it will be harder than last season. We approach all matches the same way. They are all difficult matches. Coming back from the break and playing against Strasbourg, a young team that puts a lot of intensity in the duels, wasn't easy. We were trailing 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, he said we needed to do better. We came back with different intentions in the second half, the changes were good. If we can't win, we must learn not to lose. It prepares us well for the Champions League match (Tuesday in Leverkusen).", remarks relayed by L'Equipe.

Zaïre-Emery remains humble and knows that high-level football always requires confirmation, to do even better than last night. But he had a good match, which aligns with the past few weeks. The PSG midfielder is regaining confidence and impact in his duels. It's very encouraging, and we can only wish him to continue in this direction.

This will help PSG achieve its objectives, starting with leading Ligue 1. This could change this weekend with Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille who can move ahead if they win against Nice and Le Havre. Nothing to worry about, there are still matches. But there should be no delay. 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 group, ideally with a few more returns. It will be easier to keep up the momentum. Even though there are already great resources in this squad, as shown in recent weeks and last night to come back in the score. The Parisians never give up and have confidence in their game, essential points for achieving another great season.
