Ligue 1 – L'Equipe's XI for matchday 5, with PSG | OneFootball

As after every round of the championship, L’Équipe has drawn up its team of the week for Matchday 5 of Ligue 1 2026-2027, which was played this weekend (find the results and standings here). With their 1-2 win over Olympique de Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome, Paris Saint-Germain saw 2 of its players selected.

Marquinhos (a 32-year-old centre-back and captain) and Nuno Mendes (a 24-year-old left-back) being included in this team of the week seems quite logical. The former was solid despite some difficult moments to deal with, and he scored the winning goal. The latter was impressive for almost the entire match, both defensively and offensively. He was guilty of an avoidable loss of possession late in the game that nearly cost his side the win, but the main takeaway is still the rest of his performance.

Unfortunately, it is hard to see which other Parisians could have been included. Désiré Doué (a 21-year-old midfielder/forward) produced a fine assist with his cross for Ferran Torres (a 26-year-old striker), but he lacked consistency. The latter scored and made a positive impact, except that he came off the bench. This selection is generally reserved for starters.

Above all, we saw a PSG side that is still too wasteful and shaky at times. And we should not forget that there are other very good players in Ligue 1 who also deserve to be highlighted.
