On Sunday at Stade Bollaert, Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-0 to Lens (Lens/PSG video highlights) in the 2026 Trophée des Champions. We then asked our readers, as we now do after every match, to vote for the best Paris player of the game. Désiré Doué (21-year-old midfielder/forward) came out on top.

A result that may come as a surprise, since Doué has been heavily criticized by some supporters. The reason is several turnovers while attempting overly complicated plays. However, others will instead remember that he created several chances against an effective low block. To each their own.

One might have thought that Zaïre-Emery (20-year-old midfielder) would be ahead, since there has been no criticism of him. But the academy product, who had a very good match, plays a less eye-catching role. As for the player in 3rd place, Maghnes Akliouche (24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger), he showed a certain ease in possession and posed a threat. Now, he logically still needs to fine-tune his physical condition and build chemistry with his teammates. But it is already encouraging for just his 2nd match with PSG.

In any case, thank you for your votes. As a reminder, the podium from each match is then used for the player of the month vote.
