Press review: PSG v Atalanta, Champions League with hunger for more success | OneFootball

This Wednesday, September 17, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's hosting of Atalanta tonight at 9pm at Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9pm, broadcast on Canal+) as part of the 1st day of the 2025-2026 Champions League.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

A great evening is expected, with the start of the European campaign. This with a very different status, as PSG presents itself for the first time as the defending champion. It knows it will be particularly expected, there is a certain pressure to manage. But the Parisians have many assets to move forward. They have already shown their collective strength and their ability to overcome difficulties.

The ideal would be to confirm it from this match against Atalanta in order to have serenity for the future. There are a few absentees, this is part of high-level football and Paris has prepared itself to be able to adapt. It's never time for excuses, even less before the match. We rely on the staff and the players to attack this match with determination, not as victims. Especially against an opponent who is not a European heavyweight, even if it is, of course, to be respected.
