On September 10 Beijing time, in the first round of the UEFA Champions League league phase, Paris Saint-Germain beat Bratislava 6-1. After the match, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique gave an interview.

Speaking about the match, Enrique said: "We did very well and played very well. Today, I think the person who surprised me the most was Dembele. He showed such outstanding intensity in the game! That was the case both with and without the ball."
The reporter then asked: "Is this because you criticized him at the start of the season?"
Enrique responded with a smile: "No, no, it is because of his own performance. When I see Dembele like this, I really enjoy it very much. I would be happy to see him play with this kind of ambition every day."
