In the 8th round of the 2025-26 French Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain drew 3-3 with Strasbourg after falling behind by two points. Coach Luis Enrique said that the fans were the key to the reversal.

In the post-match interview, Enrique said: "My first impression of Strasbourg is that they are one of the strongest teams in Ligue 1, which can be seen from the content of the game."

"Every time we face them, we can't play with a full lineup, but that's the reality. The new schedule brings more challenges and we have to find a balance between player fitness, rotation and national team tasks."

Luis Enrique pointed out that the team must not only properly manage the period before the international match day, but also plan ahead for the post-match period: "Controlling the players' playing time is becoming increasingly difficult. I originally should have only focused on this one game, but now I have to consider longer-term arrangements. I hope our adjusted strategy will be effective in the future."

Talking about the process of the game, Enrique believed that Paris Saint-Germain started the game well, but the rhythm was slightly insufficient in the middle: "We controlled the situation and scored a goal at the beginning, but then the intensity dropped. In the second half, we adjusted our state and regained the rhythm."

"The fans always supported us and it was them who helped the team to rally. Being able to equalize after falling behind by two goals was a huge boost to the team's morale. It was a difficult game, but I think the team performed well."

Paris Saint-Germain's next Ligue 1 match will be against Brest away on October 25, but before that there is a Champions League group match against Bayer Leverkusen to play.
