PSG v Auxerre: Luis Enrique on injuries, academy, Barcelona | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain secured a 2-0 victory over Auxerre (video highlights PSG/Auxerre) this Saturday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 6th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke at a press conference.

Enrique: "It's a shame to see a match between Barcelona and PSG without these players."

Do you have any information about Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha?

“We have to wait for the medical staff’s evaluation tomorrow or the day after to see what type of injury they have.”

Does the prospect of facing Barcelona in four days without 5 or 6 players worry you?

“You have to stay positive. It's easy to be negative. So in that sense, it's a shame to see a match between Barcelona and PSG without these players.”

Enrique: "I have to congratulate these two players for what they did."

Can you give us an initial analysis of the performance of the two Parisian Titis who came on during the match?

“We always want to think about the Titis. They are part of the identity of this club. Today, they played a very good match, with a lot of personality and good energy. I have to congratulate these two players for what they did.”

Does seeing your defenders score reassure you?

“It has to. You have to stay positive. Knowing how to manage these moments is important. Injuries don't only happen to PSG, but to all teams with a busy schedule. It doesn't matter who scores the goal. Today, we scored from set pieces and that's very important, because we work on them regularly.”

Enrique: "We took Vitinha off because he noticed a problem."

Did Vitinha come off because of an injury?

“After a match like the Classico, before a Champions League match, it's always difficult for the players. Today, Auxerre defended very well. We played a very good match. We know that in these circumstances, it's difficult. We took Vitinha off because he noticed a problem. We didn't want to take any risks because we don't know if he's injured or not.”

Enrique: "We are ready, no matter the players or the place."

Will Fabian Ruiz be there on Wednesday?

“I don't know. Tomorrow we will start thinking about the match against Barcelona. One of the best teams in the world. They defend and attack like we do. I hope the energy we will have starting tomorrow will be enough to recover some players. But we are ready, no matter the players or the place.”

How do you assess Zabarnyi’s start?

“Everything we've seen from him has been very good over the 4 or 5 matches he has played. We are very happy with his performances and his personality.”
