Toulouse v PSG: Luis Enrique on Dembélé injury and team spirit | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain won 3-6 against Toulouse (video highlights Toulouse/PSG) this Saturday at the Stadium as part of the 3rd matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to Ligue1+.

Luis Enrique: “It’s a bit like a pre-season match.”

A high-quality evening for football fans, but maybe you experienced it differently?

In my opinion, I think the stadium atmosphere was incredible the whole time. For the first 60 minutes, we had very good ball control against a very good Toulouse side. In the end, it’s a bit like a pre-season match and I can understand that. We could see that the opponent has quality and that’s normal, and I think, regarding the result, it’s deserved.

You started the first two matchdays with two 1-0 victories with a very good defense, and tonight it was more focused on the attack. Is physicality the key?

There was more space because we weren’t playing against a low block. It’s easier to take advantage of our quality, but we tried to keep going like that, but it’s not always easy.

Luis Enrique: “We want to work on our good patterns to help the team evolve and give confidence to the players.”

Are Joao Neves’ goals thanks to the confidence you’ve given the group?

We are a team under construction and we have to make the most of having a very young team. We want to work on our good patterns to help the team evolve and give confidence to the players. That’s why we try out 5 or 6 players. It’s important for us and it’s a great pleasure. For us, it’s a new season with a lot of hope.

Luis Enrique: “It seems important, but it’s always hard to know.”

How is Dembélé?

I don’t know, we’ll have to see with the doctor. It seems important, but it’s always hard to know. It’s important for us to know that he’s okay.
