Gonçalo Ramos, the 24-year-old PSG striker, spoke to the media after the 2-1 victory against FC Barcelonaon Wednesday at the Montjuïc Stadium, during the second matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League. He discussed the strength of the team, his start to the season, Nuno Mendes (the 23-year-old left-back), and the comments made by Pedri (the 22-year-old Barça midfielder), who had stated before the match that his team was better.
Ramos: “Everyone works very well all week, and everyone is ready to help.”
PSG managed to turn the game around again?
Yes, that’s the mentality of our team. That’s our strength. Everyone works very well all week, and everyone is ready to help. Today, we showed that no matter who plays, we can play like PSG. It’s the work of everyone; we always give 100%, whether we’re attacking or defending.
A word about your start to the season?
If you compare it to Kylian Mbappé’s numbers, it’s average (smile). But 3 goals, I think that’s not bad. There are 2 goals in the Champions League. For a striker, it’s always good to score.
Did Luis Enrique give a special halftime talk?
The coach is calm. At halftime, he gives some small adjustments, but not too many. We finished the first half better than we started. We just continued to play our game.
Nuno Mendes was exceptional?
Yes, Nuno is incredible every day. He’s the best fullback in the world. It’s very difficult to play against him, and today he showed his qualities again.
Ramos: “You have to show it on the pitch. You don’t have to talk about it.”
A word about the academy players? It’s great to see the talent of the young players at PSG; they’re really good!
Did Pedri say before the match that Barça has a better team?
We are the European champions, and that’s all I can say. If you’re the best, you have to show it on the pitch. You don’t need to talk about it.
