Bradley Barcola, 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain striker, spoke to beIN SPORTS after the 2-0 victory over Lens (PSG/Lens video highlights) this Saturday at the Parc des Princes in Matchday 4 of Ligue 1 2025-2026.
Barcola: “As long as we win, that’s fine with me.”
Want to take back the Ligue 1 top scorer spot from Neves?
No, I try to help the team as best I can (smiles). Whether I’m the top scorer or him, as long as we win, I’m happy.
Barcola: “As long as it allows me to score, I’m happy.”
A Barcola special on the first goal, is your supporting foot on the verge of a sprain?
Honestly, I don’t know, I don’t pay attention (laughs). It’s true that I’ve had my shooting technique since I was little, and I’ve always seen in photos that my foot felt a little weird when I shot. As long as it allows me to score, I’m happy (smiles).
Should we never give your 4 meters?
No, you shouldn’t (laughs).
When you get the ball, do you have the feeling that you already know what you’re going to do?
I study the opponent before matches, so when I have the ball, I know more or less how to put them in trouble.
Barcola: “We’ll work, even with a small group, to be ready. »
A great initiative on the second goal with a long-range shot?
Yes, it’s true that I don’t necessarily shoot a lot from long range. But there, I was right in the middle and I thought it could work.
Is PSG ready for the Champions League despite the injuries?
First of all, I hope it’s not too serious for those who came off and that they’ll be there. We’ll work, even with a reduced squad, to be ready.
