Slightly off the boil toward the end of 2025, Bradley Barcola is going through a more delicate spell in the Paris Saint-Germain shirt. The 23-year-old Parisian winger recently admitted to feeling some fatigue after a demanding first half of the season, which he finished with five goals in 13 Ligue 1 matches.
Luis Enrique stepped up to defend Bradley Barcola. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, the PSG coach publicly backed his player while refusing to use fatigue as a valid explanation for the team’s up-and-down performances.
Mental Strength at the Heart of the Debate
“Barcola is perfect. The other players are perfect too. You talk a lot about fatigue. When we win 5–0, players don’t say they’re tired. But when the result is less in our favor, players say they’re more tired. It’s all in the head,” said the Spanish coach, staying true to his demanding philosophy.
A clear message sent to his squad, and particularly to Barcola, who retains his coach’s full confidence despite the criticism. The French international will be under close scrutiny this Sunday in the Paris derby against Paris FC, an ideal opportunity to reignite momentum and silence any doubts.
