PSG v Lille – Chevalier pulls no punches: a blip, Lens and Dembélé | OneFootball

Lucas Chevalier, 24-year-old goalkeeper for Paris Saint-Germain, stopped in the mixed zone after the 3-0 victory against Lille (video highlights PSG/Lille) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 18th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026.

Chevalier: "That’s also the beauty of football."

An accident on Monday?

Of course. That’s football. You’re used to Paris winning everything, and expecting them to win everything. But that’s football. You’re older than me, you have more experience, you know that great teams can’t always win all the time.

That’s also why you come to the stadium, because anything is possible. That’s also the beauty of football. We want to win everything, so it was frustrating. But that’s life, you have to accept it. And I think we responded in the best way possible.

Chevalier: "The competition from Lens can push us even further."

Is it important to react and put pressure on Lens?

We’re going to try to keep up the pace, to improve, it’s a great battle with Lens, things can change very quickly. The competition from Lens can push us even more to win every match, to be better. It’s good for Ligue 1. Lens is competitive. There are still a lot of matches left and everything can change very quickly.

Chevalier: "It’s a stroke of genius."

Dembélé’s goal?

Magnificent. From my angle, I didn’t really understand what was happening. I was a bit surprised that he tried a lob. The ball went really high, the goalkeeper was caught off guard. It’s a stroke of genius. He’s not a Ballon d’Or winner for nothing. The goal did us a lot of good. It took him some time to get back into it, with all those individual trophies and his injuries, it’s normal.
