What happened. Luis Enrique dropped Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye for PSG's Champions Trophy defeat to Lens, then refused to discuss their futures amid Liverpool interest.

• PSG lost 1-0 to Lens, missing a fifth straight Champions Trophy.
• Barcola and Mbaye were unused subs in the Super Cup win over Aston Villa.
• PSG signed Ferran Torres and Mika Godts, pushing the duo down the pecking order.

“I will speak about the transfer window when it is finished.”

— Luis Enrique

Liverpool are in talks with PSG for both players, with Barcola valued at £140m.
