PSG Coach Praises Team's Victory Over Barcelona, Hails Young Stars

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique Martínez has praised his team's performance following their victory against FC Barcelona. The coach highlighted the individual quality of players like Vitinha and Pedri, as well as the impressive display of the club's young academy players.

Enrique believes the win has boosted the confidence of his players, noting that they were superior in the second half and deserved the victory. He also commended the team's reaction after a challenging start against Barcelona.

The coach singled out several young academy players who played a significant role in the match. These include Ibrahim Mbaye, who joined PSG's youth academy at the age of 10 and made his debut in the first team at 16½ years old. Mbaye is known for his speed and agility on the pitch.

Enrique also thanked FC Barcelona for their donation to the Xana Foundation, which supports families fighting against childhood cancer. Looking ahead, the coach considers both Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona as 'clear candidates to win the Champions League'.
