Paris Saint-Germain triumphed 2-0 over Auxerre (PSG/Auxerre video summary) this Saturday at Parc des Princes as part of the 6th day 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 the type of injury they have."

Does finding yourself four days before a match against Barcelona without 5/6 players worry you?

"We have to be 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 have done."

Can you give us a first analysis of the performance of the two Parisian Titi 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 have done."

Does seeing your defenders score reassure you?

"It must. We have to be positive. Knowing how to manage these moments is important. Injuries are not just for PSG, but for all teams with an intense schedule. It doesn't matter who scores the goal. Today, we scored from set pieces and that's very important, because we practice them regularly."

Enrique "We took Vitinha out because he noticed a problem."

Did Vitinha indeed leave due to an injury?

"After a game like the Classico, before a Champions League game, it's always difficult for the players. Today, Auxerre defended very well. We played a very good match. We know that under these circumstances it's difficult. Vitinha, we took him out 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. Who defend and attack like us. I hope that the energy we will have from tomorrow, will be enough to recover some players. But we are ready, no matter the players or the place."

What do you make of Zabarnyi's debut?

"Everything we have seen from him is very good in these 4/5 matches he has played. We are very happy with his performances and his personality."
