Enrique commented on the sending off and two penalties from Zabarny in the Champions League match

Ukrainian Ilya Zabarny started the match in the starting lineup, but already in the first half he became an anti-hero — he conceded two penalties and was removed in the 37th minute.

The head coach of the Parisians Luis Enrique commented on the actions of the defender in this match.

“As always, I try to see everything positive, but at the same time I worry about some complications. It was a bit of a strange match because we conceded goals, penalties and Ilya Zabarny was sent off. You have to be able to deal with such moments and I think the players played very well, with ambition. It is nice to see our fans on the road, we constantly feel their support and strive to be at the same level as them.

It’s a pleasure to watch this team play football. It’s good to see Ousmane Dembele back on the pitch, it’s good to see his teammates give him crucial passes like Bradley Barkola did. I think the mentality we have as a team is great, you can see it every day in training and it’s a real pleasure for us. We want to continue, we have very high goals, and at the same time we are proud to see how this team plays football,” said the coach.
