Enrique urges PSG to tighten defence after back-to-back winless outings

Paris Saint-Germain failed to secure a win in two consecutive matches, prompting coach Luis Enrique to stress the importance of staying alert to rapid attacks. A 2-2 draw at Rennes was salvaged by late goals from debutant Ferran Torres, while a prior 1-0 loss to Lens exposed defensive lapses on the break. Enrique pointed to moments when players were caught out of position, citing the space left to Sebastian Szymanski and the swift right-flank move that led to Esteban Lepaul’s goal.

He also referenced the limited preseason work after the World Cup and hinted that player conditioning could be influencing performance. Ousmane Dembélé was substituted at halftime while PSG trailed 2-0, and defender Willian Pacho cleared a near-goal-line header late in the Rennes match. The team will travel to Lille for its next fixture.
