Top 5 reasons to watch Bayer Leverkusen v PSG | OneFootball

Here is our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with a few adaptations at times). Before each game, we’ll go over the things that make it appealing, mixing seriousness with humor. Please note, this is not meant to be an exhaustive overview of the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match this Tuesday against Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena for Matchday 3 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9pm, Bayer Leverkusen/PSG broadcast on Canal+).

5. An original and attacking opponent.

We love the big matchups, but some games come up a bit too often and we like having something a little different. That will be the case with this Bayer Leverkusen side, which has had an attacking philosophy for several years. It has remained despite a very active transfer window and the departure of coach Xabi Alonso (replaced by Erik Ten Hag, then Kasper Hjulmand). It will be interesting to watch.

4. Lucas Chevalier needs to kickstart his season.

The 23-year-old goalkeeper, who arrived this summer from Lille, is going through a bit of a rough patch. He needs to adapt to his new club, a different style of play, and a new rhythm of saves to make. We can only wish him to deliver a standout performance as soon as possible—maybe tonight will be the night. At the very least, with a few good saves and, if possible, a clean sheet. That could only do him good.

3. Zaïre-Emery on the path to confirmation?

Warren Zaïre-Emery lost confidence for several weeks, as he himself admitted. But the 19-year-old midfielder fought to get back in shape, and we can see that it’s paying off lately. The Titi is regaining confidence and impact in his game. We hope he can keep it going tonight and leave his period of doubt behind.

2. Ousmane Dembélé returns.

The 28-year-old forward is back with the squad after a little over a month out. We don’t yet know how much playing time he’ll get, but it’s already excellent news. He’s a creative player, capable of making a difference, and can only be a positive addition. Not to mention his famous pressing. We’re excited to see the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner back on the pitch; this would be his first match since winning the trophy.

1. PSG is getting its spark back.

Dembélé is back, as is Marquinhos (the 31-year-old central defender and captain). Désiré Doué (20-year-old forward/midfielder) also returned on Friday, along with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24-year-old forward). The Parisian squad is getting stronger, and we expect to see a bit more flair and dominance in their play. Ideally, with a well-deserved victory at the end.
