Ahead of the Champions League clash between PSG and Manchester City this Wednesday (9 p.m.), for which Gonçalo Ramos is a substitute, Christophe Dugarry was keen to defend the Portuguese, by tackling Luis Enrique's communication.
It's a little sentence that hurts. Asked about the regular absence of a pure number 9 in his team compositions, unlike Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, Luis Enrique was very blunt at the microphone of Canal+ on Tuesday. The PSG coach highlighted the fact that he did not have Erling Haaland in his squad.

It's hard not to see this as a dig at Gonçalo Ramos, the only professional center forward in the Parisian squad. “It’s clearly a slip-up,” Christophe Dugarry denounced this Wednesday in Rothen s’ignée, a few hours before the long-awaited clash between PSG and Manchester City (9 p.m.), for the penultimate day of the league phase of the Champions League.
“For Luis Enrique, it’s always other people’s fault”
“I find it really rubbish. Gonçalo Ramos is a 23-year-old kid, he has been impeccable since the start of the season. He is only entitled to crumbs, while Luis Enrique has validated his recruitment. For Luis Enrique, it's always the fault of others. It was Kolo Muani's fault, now it's Ramos' fault… The problem is Luis Enrique, who only thinks about himself. impose something which certainly works in Ligue 1 but which has shown its limits at the very highest level”, insisted our consultant.

And to conclude: “How do you want to give confidence to your attacker with this kind of shot? Luis Enrique loves doing that, he is provocative. This slip is stupid and nasty. It's cruel and stupid.” Returning from injury at the end of November, Ramos has scored five goals in his last eleven appearances in all competitions. Luis Enrique chose to leave him on the bench at kick-off for this shock against the Skyblues.
