Normal to lose after big gifts to Bayern: Enrique
The Straits Times
|November 06, 2025
Luis Enrique said his team handed Bayern Munich “big gifts” in their 2-1 Champions League defeat on Nov 4, but insisted he was not looking for excuses despite mounting injuries within the defending champions’ squad.
-
PSG were overwhelmed in the first half in Paris, falling 2-0 behind after a Luis Diaz double before the Colombian winger was sent off for a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi, who had to be replaced before the break, following the injured Ousmane Dembele back into the dressing room.
“We'll have to wait until tomorrow after the tests,” Luis Enrique said at the press conference.
“Ousmane’s injury has nothing to do with the previous one. It’s football - a contact sport. It’s unlucky because it’s complicated for the player, but these things happen like it happened to (Bayern’s) Jamal Musiala (against PSG at the Club World Cup in July).”
PSG have been ravaged by injuries this season, with Dembele, Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz all being sidelined.
While Enrique admitted he needed to manage his squad better, he was not looking for excuses.
