PSG struggled to break down Auxerre until the 79th minute, when Bradley Barcola converted a brilliant pass from Ousmane Dembele to secure a 1-0 win.
After the game, manager Luis Enrique acknowledged the challenges posed by his limited squad.
“We did what we could. We didn’t have any midfielders,” Enrique said. “We played with 4 forwards, it wasn’t the best for the team’s balance. But no matter what, we must control the match.”
The result keeps PSG on track in the league despite ongoing concerns over squad depth and balance.
