Time.news Editor (TNE): Thank you for joining us today, Emma. After PSG’s recent match against Lens, they continue to solidify their place at the top of Ligue 1. What did you make of their performance?
Emma Collins (EC): It was a pivotal game for PSG, and they showed both resilience and skill. Luis Enrique’s team managed to secure three points, which is crucial as the season progresses. The opening goal was brilliantly set up by Fabián Ruiz, showcasing the depth of talent they have. However, it wasn’t easy; Lens challenged them significantly, especially in the second half.
TNE: The match saw a significant swing in momentum. How did the expulsion of Khusanov impact the game?
EC: The red card for Khusanov was a turning point. It certainly changed the dynamics of the match. While Lens was putting pressure on PSG and created several opportunities, being a man down forced them to change their strategy. PSG was able to exploit the gaps, but they played a dangerous game, which could have backfired if Lens had capitalized on their chances before the dismissal.
TNE: PSG’s unbeaten status in Ligue 1 is impressive. What does this mean for the team’s confidence moving forward?

They are building momentum, which is key in football. The challenge for PSG now is to keep that mindset focused and stay sharp to avoid complacency.

EC: Ligue 1 has become increasingly competitive. Teams like Lens are proving they can challenge the top sides, which can lead to a more unpredictable and exciting league. PSG must maintain their focus, as the depth in competition means any slip-up can be costly.
TNE: How can PSG continue to improvise to stay ahead of the competition?
EC: They need to maintain tactical flexibility. Enrique has shown he’s willing to adapt, but it’s also important for individual players, like Asensio, to capitalize on their opportunities in front of goal. Moreover, the team must emphasize maintaining their defensive solidity, especially against teams that pose a physical threat like Lens did.
TNE: What practical advice would you give to readers who are fans of PSG looking to support their team through the ups and downs of the season?
