Currently mobilized with his national team of Spain, Fabian Ruiz came back for our Spanish colleagues from the AS newspaper, on different subjects. The opportunity for the midfielder PSG to discuss his relationships with
Luis Enriquethe loss of Kylian Mbappé or its absence from the list of Ballon
d’Or.
His leadership role at PSG and with La Roja
“We have a young team with a bright future at PSG! One of the pillars of the national team? My goal is to be useful to the team, do my part and make sure the victories continue. I try to improve in every match so that Luis de la Fuente continues to trust me.”
His feint against Germany at Euro 2024
“My feint against Germany which eliminates 3 players? It’s true that people remember me more for this feint than for the Euro! Well, it was an action that went well, it was nice. I have the photo of this feint at home, but the most important memory: winning the title.”
His non-selection for the 2022 World Cup by Luis Enrique
“Luis Enrique who didn’t select me for the World Cup in Qatar? I never asked Luis Enrique why he didn’t take me to this World Cup. Technicians must make their decisions. Now I have him as a coach at PSG and I don’t have a bad relationship with him, on the contrary. Luis Enrique and I have a good relationship.”

What Luis de la Fuente asks him in Spain
“De la Fuente?” He asks me for more goals, to encourage me to shoot from outside the box. Goal has not been one of my playing traits, but in the last few matches I had the chance to score. Little by little, I hope to score more because it’s important for me and for the team.”
The loss of Kylian Mbappé at PSG
“What does it mean to lose Kylian Mbappé to PSG? It’s a big loss because he’s one of the best players in the world. This is also true for the locker room, because he is a great person and a good teammate. But in football it’s normal that there are players who come and others who leave. We were lucky to be able to benefit from Mbappé for a few years and now other players have come to PSG. I think we have a young team with a bright future.”
His absence from the Ballon d’Or list
“My absence from the Ballon d’Or list? I’ll continue to work to get on that list, but it’s not something I have in mind. I’m looking to improve and grow as a footballer. The Ballon d’Or is an individual prize, and I see football more as something collective.”
