Press review: PSG v Brest and Doué, ‘king of hard graft’ | OneFootball

This Sunday, May 10, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on Brest’s visit to the Parc des Princes tonight (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Ligue1+) as part of Matchday 33 of the 2025-2026 season. A match to win in order to almost wrap up the title race, while putting the Champions League to one side for the moment. There is also a Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward) who is impressing with his runs.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG experienced a great moment on Tuesday with qualification for the Champions League final, but they must quickly move on. It is an important match tonight. Lens, with their 1-0 win over Nantes on Friday, moved back to within 3 points. Paris would do well to restore the 6-point gap before traveling to face Lens on Wednesday (the postponed Matchday 30 fixture).

Even if the Parisians cannot officially be crowned champions tonight, their very favorable goal difference (14 ahead of Lens) would allow for a certain degree of calm. There could still be some rotation after the energy expended against Bayern Munich, but a competitive and determined starting eleven is expected under Luis Enrique.

It is also the last match of the season at the Parc des Princes, with the unveiling of the 2026-2027 home kit, so they cannot afford to get it wrong. Not to mention the 10th anniversary of the Collectif Ultras Paris, which promises a great celebration.

It is not yet known whether Doué will take part. Rotation remains uncertain and changes may depend on how the match unfolds. But it would not be surprising if he plays, as he seems to be in peak physical condition. That goes hand in hand with the volume of his runs, both offensively and defensively. It is an aspect that has not been highlighted enough, especially with a somewhat “individualistic” image that follows him.
