Enrique's Major Mistake Weighs Down Paris Saint-Germain
Thursday 22-01-2026
The "Fichajes" website mentioned that Paris Saint-Germain is facing significant difficulties in the Champions League after losing 2-1 to Sporting Lisbon in the penultimate round of the league stage, which has reignited discussions about some of the team's crucial tactical decisions.

The defeat forces the team to win in the final match against Newcastle United to ensure qualification among the top eight teams, amid high pressure and the risk of any mistake that could put the team in a difficult position in the next round.

The young goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who transferred last summer for 40 million euros, has become the main target of criticism following his inconsistent performance against Sporting. Recent matches have shown that he has not yet gained enough experience to handle the pressures of the Champions League.

The crisis worsened after Enrique's previous decision to dispense with Gianluigi Donnarumma, the veteran Italian goalkeeper who provided significant stability to the team, and replace him with Chevalier at a critical time, which was considered one of the biggest tactical and administrative mistakes of the season.

As the crucial match against Newcastle approaches, Paris Saint-Germain faces a real test to prove its ability to qualify, while Luis Enrique will need to make a decisive decision regarding the goalkeeping position to ensure confidence and stability for the team in critical matches.
