Because of the heat wave, PSG's field is not in state to be played on, therefore first game (this sunday) is going to be played in Rennes instead.

Field should be ok for the game against Monaco on the 4th of September

What is the plan? Move up Torren ? Sign another winger they are rumored to have interest? Gopko? Posssibly move Doue to mid? Torres, Kvara, and Dembele looks like the 3 up front. Enrique sees Doue as a more traditional box to box mid with a high press rate and great tacking skills. Torres can also play all 3 positions up front. This is also very attractive.

C’est quoi cette arrivée massive de footix depuis plusieurs mois ? Est-ce la rançon de la gloire ? Ça va s’agacer à chaque défaite c’est ça ?
On dirait que certains viennent de découvrir le PSG cette année et pensent que supporter un club, c’est uniquement quand tout va bien, qu’on gagne 4-0 et qu’on soulève des trophées. Dès qu’il y a un match moyen, ça parle de crise, de joueurs à dégager, d’entraîneur nul et de « comment on peut perdre ça ? ».
C'est le sport les gars hein. Oui, on gagne. Oui, on peut dominer. Mais non, on ne va pas gagner tous les matchs jusqu’à la fin des temps. Soyons simplement heureux de vivre la plus belle ère de notre histoire !
Allez Paris.

Last night’s loss was both logical and illogical.

The circumstances surrounding the match were very unfavorable for the club. As a reminder, the match took place in Lens because, as usual, the LFP chose unreliable foreign partners to organize this match, which—as is the case almost every year—was moved to a different venue. Despite all the rules, there was a coin toss, and Lens won. No neutral venue, no normal capacity for PSG fans and the Ultras, who consequently stayed away from the stands. Add to that the fact that the match was scheduled for the same week as the UEFA Super Cup.

On the field, the performance was satisfactory despite a mixed lineup, with plenty of chances created and dominance. My concern was the lack of efficiency in both penalty areas. The Lens players, like Thauvin, were very difficult to deal with in terms of their attitude, though.

It’s only the Champions Trophy, but it should still serve as a little wake-up call for the players. Good luck to Lens, who’ll collapse from playing every three days—just like us—from mid-September onward for several months. On a humorous note, we’ll see each other again in the traditional all-French Champions League playoff 😂

Donnarumma has been doing extra work at the end of sessions with coaches Richard Wright and Michele De Bernardin, relentlessly clipping 30 or 40-yard balls towards wide areas. Maresca had his head in his hands when one simple pass was given straight to Atletico inside City’s own third on Sunday. Typically, Donnarumma bailed himself out.

I personally feel that Neymar's best season came at PSG in 2018. However he's more remembered for his time at Barca than PSG
