Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique was satisfied with the resilience that his players shown after he came from two goals to beat the second Dunkerque in the semi-final of Coupe de France.
PSG gave the opening goal after seven minutes and were two in 27 minutes down, while Ousmane Dembele pulled one on the rest of the break.
According to Luis Enrique, PSG had to adapt to circumstances that were difficult to play.
“It was a strange game. They crossed midfield twice and scored two goals,” he said.
“It was not really logical, so we had to adjust. They defended really well, and we have to give them the honor for that.
“Starting with 2-0 down felt almost unreal, we couldn't believe it. But we are a team that can handle that too. We have a young team with great ability to manage these kinds of moments.”

Only three minutes in the second half PSG was immediately due to a Marquinhos -equal maker before Douse had for the first time just past the hour in front.
Dembele then added his second and PSG's fourth in stopping time to give the final score some shine.
His contribution was not lost on Luis Enrique, who hit him out of the praise next to the rest of his side because he came through adversity.
“I think it was a real test for us today, and we are convinced that the team is ready for every situation,” he said.
“The key in football is to have top quality players, and Ousmane performs at an incredibly high level. We just have to maintain that in 2026, 2027 … we don't want to change anything.”
