Top 5 reasons to watch PSG v Angers | OneFootball

Here's our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with some adaptations sometimes). We'll come back to the attractive things before each match with a mix of seriousness and humor. Note that this is not about making an exhaustive tour of the question. We continue here with the Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) match this Friday against Angers (7th) at the Parc des Princes during the 2nd day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off 20:45, PSG/Angers broadcast on Ligue1+).

5. The welcome of Chevalier and Zabarnyi to the Parc.

Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper from Lille) and Ilya Zabarnyi (22-year-old defender) are the big recruits of the Parisian summer. We expect something from the Parc des Princes to welcome them. These are always beautiful moments. There's also Renato Marin (19-year-old goalkeeper who signed after his contract ended at AS Rome), but the number 3 will be less in the spotlight.

4. Time for the youngsters again?

In this physical preparation period, there is logically rotation and this gives some opportunities. Including Ibrahim Mbaye (17-year-old striker), but maybe other options. It's an opportunity to see them in action again and for them to show themselves, to progress.

3. The big return to the Parc des Princes.

Since they won the French Cup and the Champions League, PSG have not played at the Parc des Princes. Even if there was a ceremony on June 1st, these are reunions for the champions. In addition to being the start of the home journey this season. This could be a memorable evening.

2. A farewell for Donnarumma?

Chevalier was very well received at PSG, but he replaces a goalkeeper who became a legend by winning the Champions League: Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old). The one who only has one year left on his contract is not yet officially gone, but the message is clear. While an official farewell at the Parc des Princes is not yet mentioned, we expect messages from the supporters. This is a special moment to watch.

1. Taking the 1st place.

PSG is in the leading group by being one of the clubs that managed to win on the first day of Ligue 1. But it's behind AS Monaco, which has a better goal difference (3-1 against Le Havre). There's no urgency, obviously. But we always like to see PSG ahead and we know that this competitive squad is also aiming for it.
