Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain beat Brest 1-0 on Sunday with Ferran Torres scoring in the 5th minute and goalkeeper Matvey Safonov producing several decisive saves to keep a clean sheet.
- Manager Luis Enrique publicly described the performance as the worst of PSG’s four league games and warned players they must improve while continuing a deliberate rotation policy.
- Achraf Hakimi was withdrawn late in the first half with an adductor problem that requires medical tests, and Nuno Mendes returned from suspension but was faulted for a poor relaunch in the second half.
- Luis Enrique omitted Illia Zabarnyi and Senny Mayulu from the 21-man squad by choice, a selection move that highlights tight squad management as the club balances minutes across competitions.
- The match carried strong emotion after Brest’s tribute to late coach Éric Roy, and the result leaves PSG with work to do domestically despite a dominant Champions League display earlier in the week.
