Top 5 reasons to watch Mallorca v PSG | OneFootball

Here is our series: the 5 good reasons to follow a match. Before each game, we’ll look back at the appealing aspects with a mix of seriousness and humor. Mind you, this is not meant to be an exhaustive overview of the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match this Wednesday against Mallorca at the San Moix Stadium in a friendly match (kick-off 9 p.m., Mallorca/PSG broadcast on beIN SPORTS and PSG TV Premium).

5. Discovering Mallorca and seeing Tenas again.

Even if it can sometimes feel like facing the same opponents over and over in the Champions League, this kind of match allows us to discover other players — those PSG will not face this season, and probably not anytime soon, given that the club has just been relegated to Spain’s second division. That does not stop them from having some interesting talent on display.

It will also be an opportunity to see Arnau Tenas again, the 25-year-old goalkeeper who left in 2025 for Villarreal and has recently been loaned to Mallorca for the 2026-2027 season. We should see some nice reunions around this match.

4. A few academy prospects to discover.

With the squad still far from complete, opportunities should open up for some academy players, whether as substitutes or perhaps even starters. It is an excellent chance for them to show their talent and gain professional experience, and for us to see what they are capable of. That is always an exciting aspect of pre-season friendlies.

3. Ndjantou back.

Quentin Ndjantou (a 19-year-old forward/midfielder) is one of the “Titis” who could stand out, although he is already a recognized player after a very promising start last season. Unfortunately, his progress was abruptly halted by a serious injury during the season. Now that he is back, we are eager to see what level he is at and what he can bring this season.

2. A break from the transfer window (sort of…).

Since the end of the World Cup, we have been without matches amid the many rumors surrounding PSG. It has felt a bit long, with very few concrete developments. At last, we are getting back to the pitch and can fully talk about football again. Even if it is only a friendly. And we know many people will still have the transfer window on their minds, thinking about departures or needed signings based on this simple friendly. We also know rumors could come out during the match. But still, we are happy to enjoy this game.

1. PSG’s return.

Quite simply, PSG is back. There is our love for the club, but also the collective and individual quality established in this squad. Despite the absences and the fact that this is a preparation match, we know we are going to see some beautiful things. We are going to ease into the season little by little, and that is exciting.
