Press review: France v Morocco, a much-awaited quarter-final between mates | OneFootball

This Thursday, July 9, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer window, with departures that could bring in a lot of money. But above all, there is the 2026 World Cup quarter-final between France and Morocco tonight at 10 p.m.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

A huge match is coming up, with teams carrying the highest possible ambition in this World Cup. That is only natural at this stage of the competition, but it has already been the case from the very beginning. Both sides have major strengths. We can expect a great “battle” tonight. Hopefully, it will come with a good spirit and good football. On the first point, the fact that many players know each other could help. On the second, the stakes and fear of the opponent could make the game more cagey.

On the PSG side, sales are indeed taking shape. But Bradley Barcola’s departure is far from being confirmed. There is talk of a price of €150 million, or even the door being completely closed. Except that some media outlets are also reporting that an exit is being considered. It is all very unclear, as is often the case during the transfer window. The same goes for the Randal Kolo Muani and Ibrahim Mbaye cases, which are far from settled. Even if the former is more clearly on his way out.
