PSG strangely finished the match on their last legs. Metz pushed PSG back, Metz “scared” the Parisians. Defensively, serenity was not present and the midfield completely fell apart. Lee, Vitinha, Ruiz—all three players largely missed their match, each in their own way. The positive point was the attackers; the two titis had a good game, especially Mbaye, who was very incisive and inspired. Ramos played his part, he scored and deserves attention for his “fairly” successful performance.

There are two matches left this year and over the last three years (under Luis Enrique) we had never seen the Parisians as shaky as at the end of 2025. The blame lies with injuries and psychological fatigue. In these cases, you have to hold on to the victory and hope everyone bounces back in 2026. Before that, the Intercontinental Cup final and the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France are coming up—Paris will have to be very careful.
