Daily Digest: PSG v Tottenham, Chevalier and Donnarumma in the spotlight | OneFootball

This Wednesday, August 13, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the 2025 UEFA Super Cup tonight against Tottenham in Udine (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+). There is also the debut of Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper) and the tense departure of Gianluigi Donnarumma (26-year-old goalkeeper).

This is a difficult match to predict, with a first game of 2025-2026 for a PSG side that reached the Club World Cup final on July 13, while Tottenham was able to have a more traditional preparation. But the Spurs have fewer certainties in their play after a very complicated season that led to a change of coach. Thomas Frank arrives with great ideas shown at Brentford, except that he is still building. We don't really know where the Parisians stand physically.

There is a trophy at stake, and each team will fight for it. Even though, let's be clear, this is far from being the most significant match of the season. The Parisian staff will no doubt aim for risk-free playing time and to get the players into rhythm. Only Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper) will have had a full preparation and a great debut for him, as there is hope of winning a trophy. Even if, of course, his challenge goes much further.

As for Donnarumma, it is obviously a special and tense situation. But it is a choice, with coach Luis Enrique still wanting to improve his team and seeking a goalkeeper more in line with his playing philosophy. Chevalier could fit the bill, and has nothing to envy Donnarumma for in terms of statistics last season.
