Press review: impressive PSG, violence and France | OneFootball

On Tuesday, June 2, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the club’s and the team’s still-rising popularity, but also on the violence on the sidelines of the 2025-2026 Champions League victory celebrations. There is also the French national team, which we will also focus on as the World Cup approaches.

After a PSG that was too “bling-bling,” its shift toward a collective approach helped bring about a more positive view. There is almost no controversy anymore, but rather a real team built on attacking football and great talent. For football lovers, it is hard not to enjoy watching this team play. All the better—we prefer this positive atmosphere.

Which was not always the case in Paris this weekend, because of several incidents. Some were caused by Parisian supporters who crossed the line, others by people who took advantage of the unrest to let loose. These are sad scenes, obviously. The solution is complex, because it would be a shame to no longer have public events. But it is also impossible to stop everyone from acting out.

As for Les Bleus, preparations are already well underway, and a new step will be taken with the arrival of the Champions League finalists. Unfortunately, there is some doubt over William Saliba, the Arsenal defender who picked up an injury.
