Daily Digest: PSG v Real Madrid, shirt sales, injury updates and Ndjantou | OneFootball

This Thursday, October 16, the French press (from a sports perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s hosting of Real Madrid tonight at 9:00 PM as part of the 2nd matchday of the Women’s Champions League (broadcast on La Chaîne L’Equipe and Disney+), the sale of men’s jerseys, the gradually emptying infirmary, and the rise of Quentin Ndjantou (18-year-old midfielder/forward).

PSG was swept away 4-0 by Wolfsburg in their opening match of the competition last week, so a big and beautiful reaction will be needed against another major European club. That would do a world of good, and there are reasons to believe it’s possible. However, there are also a few concerns for PSG’s women’s team.

On the men’s side, things are looking pretty good. Jersey sales are booming, surpassing even the famous Messi and stars era. Most importantly, injured players are gradually returning, and the squad could be almost complete this Friday against Strasbourg (8:45 PM, broadcast on Ligue1+). But we are still waiting for the official medical update of the day for confirmation.

At the very least, Paris can rely on young talents to fill out the squad. Among them is Ndjantou, who made a remarkable debut and is expected to be seen more throughout the season. This is a success for the Parisian club, which manages to “feed” its first team with homegrown players. This comes with some tensions within the organization, as is the case everywhere. L’Equipe had already mentioned some issues and brings them up again here, though in a less “alarmist” tone.
