In the first round of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain swept Serie A powerhouse Atalanta 4-0 at home, which not only marked a good start, but also injected a shot in the arm for the upcoming French national derby.

After the game, coach Luis Enrique and Hvecza Kvaratskhelia were interviewed and shared their feelings about the victory and their expectations for the next game. Enrique said frankly that the performance in the first game was satisfactory: "This is the best way to start the Champions League."

"We played a high-level game with the cheers of our fans and we fully deserved this victory. The team created a lot of opportunities, and Atalanta used a three-center-back defensive system, which was very difficult to break through, but we did a good job."

Luis Enrique stressed that this victory is not only a good starting point for the group stage, but also the best preparation for the upcoming match against Marseille: "We know how important this game is to the fans and the club. Now we have to turn our attention to Marseille and strive for victory."

Kvaratskhelia, who scored in the game, expressed his pride in the team's performance: "Today was our day. The team won the game easily and everyone played very well. My goal was important, but my teammates' goals were equally wonderful. The whole team showed great strength."

Kvaratskhelia also talked about his focus on the next game: "Every game is a preparation for the next one. We know what Marseille means, especially for the fans. This is a match that requires us to go all out. We will do our best to present a wonderful game for the team and the fans."
