In a press conference ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's match against Metz, head coach Luis Enrique addressed questions regarding the team's resilience following their recent victory against Monaco in the Champions League. Enrique highlighted the importance of the upcoming fixture as PSG aims to apply pressure on current league leaders Lens. He emphasized the need for the team to maintain their competitive spirit and approach the match with determination.

Enrique also touched on the injury status of Ousmane Dembélé, who was hurt during their recent game at Monaco, expressing concerns over player fitness and the impact on strategic decisions for the upcoming matches. In addition, he discussed goalkeeping choices, mentioning Lucas Chevalier being benched in favor of Matfey Safonov, demonstrating the tactical adjustments he might make as the season progresses.

Interestingly, when pressed about Vinicius Jr.'s situation at Real Madrid, where he mentioned facing insults, Enrique chose to sidestep the topic completely, perhaps indicating a focus on his own team's internal dynamics rather than external controversies. This approach reflects a typical coaching stance where the priority is on the squad’s performance rather than engaging in outside narratives, emphasizing concentration on upcoming challenges in Ligue 1.
