Lens/PSG – League title, Safonov and Barcola, Luis Enrique is blunt! | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 0-2 against Lens (Lens/PSG video highlights) this Wednesday at the Stade Bollaert in the postponed Matchday 29 fixture of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique spoke at the press conference.

Luis Enrique: “This season has been very unusual”

Is this the sweetest title of the three you have won?

It’s the sweetest because it’s the hardest of the three I’ve won with PSG. Lens did a very good job. I watched the matches they won, their winning streak. It was complicated. We had to manage that. This season has been very unusual. We’ve had a lot of injuries. We had little vacation time.

Luis Enrique: “He was incredible.”

What did you make of Safonov’s performance?

He was incredible. Lens deserved a better result. That’s football. It reminds me of the match we lost against PFC in the Coupe de France with 80% possession. The team showed the right mentality.

Does he surprise you?

I’ve always said I had three very high-level goalkeepers. As a team and as a staff, we look for the best players. That can change, especially in the goalkeeper position. It means performing every day. Everyone on the pitch showed that ambition.

Luis Enrique: “I can’t explain anything, but it’s very clear.”

Are you going to celebrate this trophy?

My celebration is this press conference! Nothing. I celebrated last week when we were 99.9% there (French champions). Today, it was a confirmation.”

Was Bradley Barcola’s substitution at halftime due to his performance?

“I can’t say anything here as important information. I can’t explain anything, but it’s very clear.
