A serious drama is unfolding at the Parisian club. After yesterday's 1-3 defeat to Rennes, star winger Ousmane Dembélé and head coach Luis Enrique engaged in a public spat, exposing deep-rooted problems within the squad.
Details: Dembélé didn't mince his words in the post-match interview, openly criticizing his teammates for their selfishness.
“If everyone on the pitch plays only for himself, it won't work. Last season, we put the club, the badge, and Paris Saint-Germain above personal ambitions. Now it's different,” declared the French international.
Luis Enrique's response at the press conference was sharp and cold. The coach made it clear he doesn't attach much importance to his player's words, attributing them to raw emotions.
“These statements mean nothing. It's just the result of anger after a poor performance, and I think that's obvious. We have nothing to lose,” replied the Parisians' boss.
It's worth noting that this season hasn't been as smooth for PSG as the previous one. They're currently leading Ligue 1, but Lens could overtake them today if they beat Paris FC. That match kicks off at 21:05 Central European Time.
Reminder: Former PSG player Juan Bernat has signed a contract with Spanish side Eibar.
