Overview
- Illya Zabarnyi scored his first PSG goal from a Vitinha cross before Lucas Beraldo doubled the lead with a header on a Senny Mayulu delivery.
- Vitinha was withdrawn after 35 minutes and Kvaratskhelia left at halftime with a thigh issue, with Luis Enrique saying medical exams will determine the extent.
- With several regulars out, Luis Enrique fielded a heavily rotated, youthful XI featuring Warren Zaïre-Emery at right back and debuts for academy products Quentin Ndjantou and Mathis Jangeal.
- Paris provisionally returned to first place in Ligue 1 after Marseille had briefly gone top, and Lucas Chevalier preserved the clean sheet with a late save.
- The Parc des Princes celebrated Ousmane Dembélé’s Ballon d’Or with tifos and a post-match PLK concert as focus now turns to the midweek Champions League visit to Barcelona.
