Paris Saint-Germain beat Dunkerque 2-4 (video highlights Dunkerque/PSG) this Tuesday at Stade Pierre Mauroy in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France 2024-2025. After the match, Paris coach Luis Enrique (54) spoke to France 2. The Spaniard looked back on a match that was both surprising and won.
Luis Enrique: “We had to keep our heads and stay structured.
Did you go through all kinds of emotions tonight?
Yes, it was a strange game. They went through midfield twice and scored twice. It wasn’t logical and we had to adapt. They defended very well, I must say.
We did our best and managed to score in the first half, which gave us hope. As we said to each other at half-time, we had to keep our heads and stay structured.
Luis Enrique “it was almost a joke.”
Is PSG’s ability to turn the tables a good sign?
I think we’ve had a great test today and we tell ourselves that the team is ready for any scenario.
Starting 2-0 was almost a joke, we couldn’t believe it and we’re a team that’s capable of doing that too. We’ve got a young team and a great ability to handle these situations.
Dembélé, Europe’s top scorer, how did you manage it?
The whole idea of soccer is to benefit from top-quality players, and Ousmane plays at a very high level. We need to keep it that way in 2026, 2027… We don’t want to change a thing.
