Senny Mayulu, 19-year-old attacking midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, spoke to Canal+ after the 1-2 victory against FC Barcelona this Wednesday at the Montjuïc Stadium as part of Matchday 2 of the 2025-2026 Champions League.
Mayulu: “We knew.”
What allowed this team to overturn FC Barcelona?
We didn’t give up, even though they scored the first goal. We kept our heads. We knew that if we worked hard and composed our play, we would win this match and come back, which is what we did. We’re very happy.
Can you imagine the performance?
Yes, of course, we didn’t give up. That’s how we are, and we managed to have this intelligent approach as a team. Every player has that in our mentality; we didn’t give up despite the events of the match. It’s a team effort, and the coach has been carrying his weight every day.
Mayulu: “As a team effort, above all.”
You were very clinical?
Yes, it’s a team effort. Nuno made a great breakthrough. He tried to get it to me. I tried not to be offside, I controlled the shot, I shot, but it’s a team effort above all. It got us back in the game, that’s great.
Are you the leader of all these young players?
No, not a leader of the team because, really, we’re only a year apart. Not even that. It’s a source of pride to see the Titi players rise and be in this kind of match. We want to show it in training, and the coach shows it back.
