PSG v Lens: Luis Enrique reveals why he spent half-time in the stands! | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 against Lens (video summary PSG/Lens) this Sunday at the Parc des Princes as part of the 4th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After this match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to beIN SPORTS. It was an opportunity to explain his first half spent in the stands, but also to discuss the qualities of Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) and the injuries sustained.

Luis Enrique "you have a different perspective."

Why a first period in the stands and the second down below?

It's very easy to explain. It's because we have been thinking for a long time about improving the coach's vision. I saw this in rugby and today, with this possibility, I thought of doing it. It was good. Because you have a different perspective, it's very easy for me to explain to the players at halftime the things we can improve.

Luis Enrique "he is a different player."

What makes Barcola different?

His individual quality, technically, physically, he is a different player. That's why we recruited him. He started this season like last year. He is an incredible player, we are happy. It's a team effort, with different players. You have to know how to take advantage of this period for a player.

Luis Enrique "you have to accept that."

A curse on PSG regarding injuries?

It's high-level football, with injuries that are there. There are hits, you have to accept that. We work to improve the health of injured players, to avoid injuries, but it's normal to have injured players. Especially in competition.
