Press review: PSG v Chelsea, Kvaratskhelia opens up, questions over Pacho | OneFootball

This Tuesday, March 10, the French press (on the sporting side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain and the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 for the 2025-2026 season, to be played this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes against Chelsea (the return leg is on Tuesday, March 17). There is also Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25-year-old forward) who gave an interview to Le Parisien and L’Equipe, which raises questions about Willian Pacho (24-year-old defender). There is also Yohan Cabaye, who keeps his position as sporting director of the youth academy and pre-academy.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG is heading towards a great clash, of the highest level and full of history. In the Champions League, but also with the Club World Cup final last summer, which Chelsea won 3-0. The English club will want to confirm their status and erase the “excuse” of Parisian fatigue, while Paris will want to show that it was just an incident. Even though all of this is just a bonus, the main objective is to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals.

To do so, they are counting in particular on Kvaratskhelia, whose interview in Le Parisien will be available on our site very soon. Coach Luis Enrique should also rely, notably, on Pacho. The sports newspaper raises some concerns, though it’s not exactly clear why. He has simply been a bit less dominant in a team that has made some big mistakes. But he hasn’t been completely off his game either. You can’t expect a player to be perfect all the time.
