PSG/Toulouse – Title won, Dembélé for Ballon d’Or, says Hernandez | OneFootball

Lucas Hernandez, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender, spoke to Ligue1+ after the 3-1 win over Toulouse (PSG/Toulouse video highlights) this Friday at the Parc des Princes as part of Ligue 1 matchday 28 of the 2025-2026 season.

Hernandez: “we have to stay vigilant”

A complicated win?

We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy win. Some international players only got back yesterday. So it was important to get going. We were up to the task. Now it’s up to us to prepare in the best possible way for Wednesday’s match.

Is PSG comfortable or do you have to stay vigilant?

Of course we have to stay vigilant. Lens are having a very good season. It’s up to us to keep going in this direction and perform well to win this championship that we want so badly.

How do you approach the final sprint?

We have to stay on this path, we know it isn’t easy. There’s a big match on Wednesday, but we’re at 10% confidence. It’s up to us to step up on Wednesday and in the return leg at Liverpool.

Hernandez: “he won the Ballon d’Or, and that’s no coincidence.”

Is Dembélé still surprising?

Yes, of course! He’s an extraordinary player. Last year, he won the Ballon d’Or, and that’s no coincidence. He gives us something extraordinary up front. He’s in a great moment of confidence. It’s great to have him in the team. I’ve already played against him and it’s tough, so it’s good to have him on our side.

Capable of winning the Ballon d’Or again?

I don’t know, but I hope so. He’s a great person. He’s a leader on and off the pitch.
