Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 4-0 against Atalanta (PSG/Atalanta video summary) this Wednesday at Parc des Princes as part of the first day of the 2025-2026 Champions League. After this victory, Parisian goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier (23 years old) spoke in the mixed zone. He savored this great success, looked ahead to the trip to Marseille on Sunday (5th day of Ligue 1), and discussed injuries.

Chevalier "This definitely sends a strong signal."

Is PSG sending a signal?

That was the goal, PSG is the reigning champion so it was necessary to show that the level would be the same for this new season. Atalanta stifled the first ten minutes... This definitely sends a strong signal.

The team is motivated and confident, ready to go after big things. You can feel a club that wants to go after another trophy. Since my arrival, I feel a very confident and serene club, as if winning the Champions League has lifted a weight off it.

Chevalier "It seems very easy to play with them, we feel confident."

A pleasure in this PSG?

I'm having a blast, I'm surprised because it's strong. If I have to compare with my previous team, there are more individual feats, more control, it seems very easy to play with them, we feel confident.

Chevalier "It's the rival club, the club to beat."

A special match against OM, to be quickly adopted or have trouble?

It's football. First, we won 4-0 against Atalanta. It should be highlighted. We're happy to start off on the right foot. We showed that we are here this season. There is an important match coming up on Sunday, in Marseille, it's a Classico. We will go there to win.

There will be no problem, we will give our best. It's the rival club, the club to beat. I am Parisian today and I will give everything for my colors, as in Lille against Lens. These are magnificent matches, a beautiful stadium, fiery supporters, but we are confident. We are on the right track.

How is the match preparation?

The approach to the match is always serene, not much changes when we play Lens or Atalanta, it's comfortable for the players as it allows them to arrive at the match calmly.

Chevalier "We always manage to have a competitive team"

Are injuries a concern?

No, we don't want to be worried because, for now, it's manageable. We always manage to have a competitive team. But it's certain that, this year, there will be a particular management to have, with last season, the number of matches played.

Maybe it will pull a bit. But we really feel on a daily basis that the staff wants to relieve the players, give them rest days. After, it's football, we're not safe from anything. But we obviously hope that it won't continue.
