Press review: PSG v Liverpool, France national team and Mayulu | OneFootball

This Friday, March 20, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool (April 8 and 14), the French national team squad list for the March break which starts Monday with Lucas Chevalier (24-year-old goalkeeper) and the uncertain future of Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder).

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG has a very strong opponent in their bid to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals; it would be a mistake to think it will be easy. Liverpool has been inconsistent, but can always reach a very high level on their good nights. With such matches, it’s best to expect the highest possible standard. But the Parisians will certainly have their say and can be confident—without going overboard.

Within its high-level squad, Paris notably has some great talents. Mayulu is one of them, and the desire to extend his contract does seem to exist. But an agreement must be found, as his contract runs until 2027. Nothing is certain for now. We are waiting for something concrete, hopefully soon. Everything can move quickly in football.

We have seen Chevalier lose his place at PSG since January, thus putting his number 2 spot in the French national team at risk, even though he seemed able to compete with Mike Maignan for the starting role. He is still on the Bleus list for March, but there is no guarantee that will be the case for the World Cup. Especially since Didier Deschamps clarified that he is there as the number 3. He would need to get more playing time in Paris, but that is a difficult task.
