Press review: France gear up for Ukraine clash and Manchester United v PSG | OneFootball

This Saturday, November 1st, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s women’s team as they traveled to face Manchester United for the 3rd matchday of the Champions League. There is also, and above all, the French national team’s match tomorrow against Ukraine as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Notably, Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward) is expected to start, even though he is going through a difficult period.

L’Equipe

The Bleus can secure their qualification for the World Cup with this match, so it’s only logical that there is a certain level of anticipation. Especially since there is always great potential in this squad, even if there are concerns that the performance might once again be a bit disappointing. We hope to see a confident Barcola, even though the past few weeks have been tough for him. There may be a need for rest and preparation, as is the case for the entire Paris squad. There’s no choice, adaptation is necessary.

As for the women’s team, it’s time to pick up points after two defeats in the first two matchdays. There are only six games, so there’s no time to waste. But after Wolfsburg (0-4) and Real Madrid (1-2), it’s yet another big challenge. Let’s hope PSG confirms the progress shown against the Madrid side.
