Top 5 reasons to watch PSG v Lens | OneFootball

Here is our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with some adaptations at times). We will revisit the appealing aspects before each match with a mix of seriousness and humor. Note, this is not an exhaustive overview of the topic. We continue here with the Paris Saint-Germain (1st) match this Sunday against Lens (5th) at the Parc des Princes during the 4th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 5:15 PM, PSG/Lens broadcast on beIN SPORTS).

5. The return from the international break.

The matches for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers are interesting, it's always better than friendlies or the Nations League. However, it doesn't compare to the season to live through, which has barely started. It's back on, finally, for only 6 matches (4 in Ligue 1 and 2 in the Champions League). We must enjoy it.

4. Time for Ibrahim Mbaye,

We are also happy to see the end of the break, as it started very painfully with the injuries of Fabian Ruiz (apparently minor), Désiré Doué, and Ousmane Dembélé. There were no further alerts, thankfully. But already, these absences will bring some adaptation and room for other players. Including the young Ibrahim Mbaye (17-year-old forward). A player PSG wants to give space to, this will be the moment.

3. Warren Zaïre-Emery,

The 19-year-old midfielder should also have time to showcase himself, starting with this match. He was not in the French team, so he was able to prepare. And Lee Kang-In (24 years old) should play rather in an offensive position in the coming weeks. It's the moment for the Titi to string together performances to regain his confidence and best level. It must start this Sunday against a strong opponent.

2. Senny Mayulu

He is somewhat the young talent who marked the last months of the 2024-2025 season, and we hope to see the 19-year-old attacking midfielder confirm this season. Then grow even more. He too should be able to string together performances in the coming weeks, and we expect to see him play this Sunday. We are curious to see how far he can go and he will be particularly one to watch.

1. and Gonçalo Ramos.

The 24-year-old striker does not have unanimous support among PSG fans, but he is a high-level striker who regularly plays in a Portuguese team that lacks no competition. To defend him, it is often said that he lacks playing time and confidence. Here, he will be able to showcase himself.

The ideal would be to start with a standout performance today. Even though the overall judgment will be over the next few weeks. But it is clear that PSG's victories in the upcoming major events, notably in the Champions League, will partly depend on a top-form Ramos.
