Lucas Hernandez Ready for PSG’s Challenges as Reigning European Champions
Paris Saint-Germain: Reigning champions embrace the pressure of being Europe’s top team
Paris, October 2025 – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the reigning champions of Europe, are currently hailed as the world’s top football team. As the new season of 2025-2026 unfolds, they are the club to beat.
Lucas Hernandez aware of PSG’s new status
French defender Lucas Hernandez is acutely aware of the heightened expectations. Currently representing France in a match against Iceland on Monday, the Parisian defender shared his insights in an interview with a leading French daily.
In this conversation, Hernandez discussed PSG’s elevated stature and how they have become the prime target for Europe’s elite clubs. **”In the Champions League, we’re going to be targeted everywhere,”** he remarked, reflecting on the shift from last season when PSG’s group stage struggles diverted the attention of rivals. **”Now, everyone wants to take down the European champions. In the 21st century, only Real Madrid has managed to defend its title. We have to rise to the challenge, and we’ve been doing quite well since September,”** he added confidently.
Admiration for Luis Enrique
Though Lucas Hernandez has been on the bench since last season, he is determined to reclaim his spot in Luis Enrique’s starting lineup through consistent performances. Despite limited playtime, the French defender is a strong advocate of the Spanish coach’s approach.
**”Luis Enrique has instilled discipline and done everything to assemble the most effective squad possible,”** Hernandez stated, praising the coach for his demanding nature and attention to detail both on and off the field. Hernandez might start in PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg on Saturday evening as part of the 8th game week.
PSG’s journey this season is closely watched as they strive to maintain their dominance and secure back-to-back European titles, a feat only achieved by Real Madrid in the modern era.
