Press review: PSG v Chelsea, Paris back in the spotlight | OneFootball

This Thursday, March 12, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's 5-2 victory against Chelsea last night at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 for the 2025-2026 season (return leg on Tuesday, March 17 at Stamford Bridge).

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Be careful, not everything suddenly became perfect. The two goals conceded, due to significant errors, are there to remind us. Just like a few missed presses or the mere 4 shots in the last 50 minutes.

However, these 4 shots were also goals, and high-level ones at that. PSG has often lacked efficiency this season, but they managed to be punishing this time. And a bit brilliant, let's not forget that for this team and these players who are so easily criticized.

Paris showed that it has a say, even though there is still work and confidence to be built for the future. Especially for the return leg. Qualification is on the horizon, yet far from guaranteed. We trust this group to take the second match very seriously. Especially since the match against Nantes initially scheduled for this weekend (26th day of Ligue 1) has been postponed to the week of Wednesday, April 22.
