Lyon v PSG: César thrilled with new signings and team identity

This Saturday, the women’s teams of Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais will face off at Parc OL (broadcast on Canal+Foot) at 9 p.m. during the 3rd matchday of the Arkéma Premier League 2025-2026. The match was discussed by Parisian coach Paulo César on PSG TV. He highlighted the contribution of recent signings and the desire to maintain his style of play despite the opponent’s qualities.

Reinforcements for the squad.

“How did the training week go? Very well! We worked a lot, talked a lot, and the feedback from the players has been very positive. After an important win, it was important to spend a week feeling relieved, and to prepare for the upcoming matches. Yaya and Isabela have joined the squad, as has Olga Carmona. What are your impressions of them? It’s very positive because these are two Brazilians we’ve been watching for a long time. They are quality players. As for Olga, she’s a world champion, we know her qualities. She will strengthen us and be very important for the team.

César: “We are not going to change because of the opponent’s higher or lower level.”

What is the team’s mindset going into the match against Lyon? I feel my team is very focused, very attentive to what could happen during this match. We are going to prepare well and I have no doubt that we can play a very good game. We’ll go there and try to play with our strengths, with our identity. We are not going to change because of the opponent’s higher or lower level. For me, all teams have the same weight, the same importance. We have to play for the three points, we’ll give it our all.”

We can appreciate Paulo César’s determination not to make too much of the fact that they are facing Lyon, even if it is obviously a great opponent. He knows it, he is well aware of the challenges ahead. But, precisely, it’s better not to overthink it, not to increase the pressure. PSG will move forward with its philosophy and the desire to do well.

All the while being ready to fight, with a Lyon team that has qualities that, of course, require effort. For this trip and the rest of the season, the Parisian team has strengthened well. Now they need to work as best as possible and approach this match in the best conditions. It will be tough to take points, but it’s far from impossible.
