Paris Saint-Germain won 3-6 against Toulouse this Saturday at the Stadium as part of Matchday 3 of Ligue 1 2025-2026. After the match, Parisian coach Luis Enrique spoke to Ligue 1+.
Luis Enrique: “It’s a bit like a pre-season match.”
A high-quality evening for football fans, but perhaps you experienced it differently?
In my opinion, I think the atmosphere in the stadium was incredible throughout. In the first 60 minutes, we had very good ball control against a very good Toulouse team. By the end, it was a bit like a pre-season match, and I can hear it. We could see that the opponent has quality, which is normal, and I think the result is deserved.
You started the first two matches with two 1-0 wins and a very good defense, and tonight it was more attack-oriented. Is physicality the key?
There was more space because we weren’t playing against a deep block. It’s easier to take advantage of our quality, but we tried to continue like that, but it’s not always easy.
Luis Enrique: “We want to work on our good patterns to help the team evolve and give the players confidence.”
Were Joao Neves’ goals thanks to the confidence you gave the squad?
We’re a team under construction, and we have to take advantage of having a very young squad. We want to work on our good patterns to help the team evolve and give the players confidence. That’s why we’re trying out 5 or 6 players. It’s important for us and it’s a great pleasure. For us, it’s a new season with a lot of hope.
Luis Enrique: “It seems important, but it’s always difficult to know.”
How is Dembélé?
I don’t know, we’ll have to see the doctor. It seems important, but it’s always difficult to know. It’s important for us to know that he’s okay.
