Press review: France v Paraguay build-up | OneFootball

This Friday, July 3, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused on nothing directly related to Paris Saint-Germain. Most of the attention is on the 2026 World Cup Round of 16 between the French national team and Paraguay on Saturday night at 11 p.m., involving several PSG players.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

France, especially with its sensational attack, goes into this match against Paraguay as the favorite. It is even considered one of the leading contenders to win the World Cup. However, caution is needed—nothing is ever guaranteed in football. Even more so at this level. Upsets can happen quickly.

Paraguay made that perfectly clear by eliminating Germany in the previous round. There is real collective strength in this team, especially in defense, but not only there. It will be a difficult match for Les Bleus, who absolutely must remain humble and focused. Elimination would be a real disappointment, even if qualification is far from certain.
