If PSG is not yet running at full speed in Ligue 1, the capital club is, for the moment, doing well in the Champions League. The title holders won their first three European matches, against Atalanta (4-0), Barça (1-2) and Bayer Leverkusen (2-7). At the top of the league phase, the Parisians now have an appointment with their runner-up, Bayern Munich, who remain on 15 victories in a row.
For this particularly anticipated poster, Luis Enrique can count on returns, including that of 2025 Ballon d’Or Ousmane Dembélé. The Spanish technician could also trust “Titis” once again, as he has done since the start of the season. Delighted with the level displayed by the young people from the training center, the former Barça coach clearly has a weakness for Quentin Ndjantou.
Trained as an attacker, Ndjantou was launched into the deep end of the professional world on September 27, against Auxerre. The 18-year-old followed with a notable debut in Barcelona, then two starts, against Lille and Lorient. And we probably haven’t seen the last of this promising youngster.
Luis Enrique: “He comes very strong, he is surprising”
“ He comes very strong, he is surprising », enthused Luis Enrique at a press conference this Monday, and added: “ A player with this ability, this mentality and this personality, he arrives at the best time. I’m very confident, I hope he continues to improve. He is ready to help the first team but also the U19s, the Espoirs if necessary… I am excited to have a player like him in the team. »
The Parisian coach also made laudatory remarks about Senny Mayulu, notably author of the last goal in the Champions League final won by the residents of the Parc des Princes. “ He is a very important player for us, for his individual, technical and physical quality but also for his ability to play in different positions, underlined Luis Enrique. It allows me to take advantage of its quality during matches, when I need to change players. He is still improving, I am very happy with what I see from Senny and the players at the academy. »
