Press review: Barcelona v PSG, Vitinha, Chevalier and Lee | OneFootball

This Wednesday, October 1st, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s match against FC Barcelona at the Montjuïc Stadium (kick-off at 9pm, broadcast on Canal+) as part of the second matchday of the Champions League group stage. A high-level clash that both teams approach with some absentees. There are still a few uncertainties on the Parisian side.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

This is a highly anticipated fixture, with the feel of a final (almost realized last season) between two of the best squads of the 2024-2025 season, who still need to confirm their status this year. Of course, it is “just” a group stage match, with 3 points at stake and nothing more. But that’s not insignificant either. And the clash remains enticing.

Notably because there are attacking ideas on both sides, with top-level players despite the absences. We are therefore hoping for a particularly interesting football match, with an outcome that is hard to predict. There are also a few “stories” surrounding the game, including the rivalry between the clubs established in recent years and the whole debate for the Ballon d’Or between Ousmane Dembélé (ultimately the winner) and Lamine Yamal.
