It’s tense internally at PSG. In recent hours, numerous articles published in the French media have mentioned unease between Luis Enrique and some of his players. In our columns, we notably revealed to you exclusively a very tense situation between the Spanish coach and Bradley Barcola.

The newspaper The Team explained this weekend that Dembouz does not appreciate the style of play of Luis Enrique, who sanctioned him for being late for training. Finally, Fabian Ruiz is the fourth player mentioned by The Parisianhe who always struggles to show the same face in club as in selection, where he is always brilliant. To be continued…
