Press review: Brest v PSG, Hakimi shines as Paris go top of Ligue 1 | OneFootball

This Sunday, October 26, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-0 victory over Brest at the Stade Francis Le Blé yesterday, as part of the 9th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. A win highlighted by a brace from Achraf Hakimi (26-year-old right-back) and the reclaiming of first place in Ligue 1.

PSG needed to respond in Ligue 1 after two draws, taking advantage of the confidence built up in the Champions League. This was done well, with a certain seriousness and the recent returns from injury that have been beneficial in regaining energy, even if there was sometimes a slight lack of creativity. Nevertheless, it remains a fine away performance against a very combative team.

A victory marked by outstanding performances from Vitinha (25-year-old midfielder) and Achraf Hakimi, as is often the case. The latter is particularly impressive in his ability to repeat efforts while playing very frequently. However, he should not be limited to that, as he also demonstrates great tactical intelligence and real technical qualities. Not to mention his eye for goal, once again well proven yesterday.

All of this allows PSG to reclaim first place in Ligue 1, which was lost last weekend to Olympique de Marseille. Marseille, who were beaten by Lens yesterday, have now been overtaken by Lens. Paris can therefore move forward with confidence, with a squad regaining key players as the infirmary empties.
