Press review: Lens v PSG, trophy lost despite dominating | OneFootball

This Monday, August 17, the French press (from a sporting point of view) focused, as far as Paris Saint-Germain is concerned, on the 1-0 defeat against Lens in the 2026 Trophée des Champions at Stade Bollaert.

L’Equipe –

It is always painful to lose, especially when there is a trophy at stake. But there is no question of making a drama out of it. It has often been repeated that this is not the most important title missing from the season, and that has not changed. Paris have only recently had all their players back together and are mainly aiming for the trophies that are decided at the end of the season.

Also, even though the Parisians were far from perfect, they still managed to dominate. It would not have taken much to win. It was a night lacking efficiency, while Lens scored from a very mishit shot and a follow-up. It happens. This match must be used to improve and then quickly move on to what comes next.
