Press review: PSG v Toulouse, Zabarnyi, Mbaye and mic'd-up ref | OneFootball

This Friday, April 3, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s home match against Toulouse at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., live on Ligue1+) as part of Matchday 28 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season.

It is the return after the international break, always a somewhat special moment because all the players and the team have to “reconnect.” It is even more unusual for PSG, since the Champions League will also be on everyone’s mind, with the first leg of the quarter-final this Wednesday against Liverpool (the return leg on April 14). That will factor into the management of the squad, without forgetting the importance of a win while Lens are only one point behind, albeit having played one more match.

To restart well, PSG are expected to rely in particular on Zabarnyi. His adaptation to life in Paris has been far from easy, even if his recent performances have been more convincing. The hope is for confirmation tonight, far removed from a difficult international break. By contrast, Mbaye provided an assist and scored for Senegal and could use that confidence boost on his return to Paris, where he has played little recently.

The match will also be marked by the test of microphone use for refereeing during exchanges with VAR. It is a way to bring more clarity for players, executives, coaches and supporters. A good idea, even if there will no doubt still be some misunderstandings.
