Paris Saint-Germain secured a 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes in the opening round of the 2026-2027 Champions League league phase. Following the win, PSG manager Luis Enrique spoke to Canal+.
Luis Enrique: “The player who surprised me the most was Ousmane Dembélé.”
Did the evening go exactly as you had hoped?
I am particularly pleased with what I saw—specifically the connection between the team and the fans right from the opening minutes. The atmosphere was incredible, as always. That is something worth highlighting. Today, we did a great job when we didn’t have the ball; we gave the opposition no time and executed everything very well.
Did we see the full extent of what Torres can bring to the team?
Today, I think the player who surprised me the most was Ousmane Dembélé. Such intensity—both with and without the ball—as always.
You were the one who challenged him.
No, no. It’s all him; Ousmane Dembélé is a real joy to work with, and I love seeing him every day with the same ambition he has shown over the last three years.
