🔎 2025-26 season: new status and a fresh start for PSG 🌟 | OneFootball

This Wednesday, against Tottenham, on the occasion of the UEFA Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain will kick off their 2025-26 season. For the very first time in their history, Paris will compete as the reigning European champion.

Luis Enrique and his players have no choice but to fully embrace and face this new status... and this new life!

OneFootball presents the outlines and expectations for Paris Saint-Germain's 2025-26 season!

The Transfer Market 💰

The capital club has made two signings: Lucas Chevalier and Illya Zabarnyi.

Chevalier arrives at PSG to challenge Gianluigi Donnarumma for the number 1 spot. A surprise goalkeeper change considering the Italian's exceptional Champions League final phase, which could completely revolutionize PSG's play, given Chevalier's footwork and depth management skills.

The Ukrainian defender from Bournemouth, Illya Zabarnyi, is expected to support Marquinhos. Over the course of the season, he is likely to challenge him more and gain prominence in preparation for the next season.

The Preseason ☀️

PSG players resumed training only last week and thus have not played any friendly matches due to the Club World Cup.

A competition that the Parisians dominated... until the final. The matches against Atlético de Madrid, Bayern, and Real Madrid were very convincing, while the one against Chelsea was extremely disappointing. Perhaps even worrying? We'll find out very soon...

The Objectives 💪

The Parisians won everything last year. Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions, Champions League. Naturally, if PSG doesn't win all four trophies again, the season will be considered less successful than the previous one. It's cruel, yes.

Luis Enrique and his men have no choice but... to win everything. Again. This is now the new life of Paris Saint-Germain since their triumph on May 31st...

The 3️⃣ Leaders

Ousmane Dembélé: the top scorer for PSG last season, Dembouz' has established himself as the offensive leader of the Red and Blue team in 2024-25. He now needs to confirm this to prove that he has definitively reached a new level. Especially since he is very likely to play part of this 2025-26 season as the reigning Ballon d'Or winner. And a lot is expected from a Ballon d'Or...

Achraf Hakimi: the Moroccan was outstanding in 2024-25. A candidate for the Ballon d'Or podium, Hakimi must also confirm his new role as PSG leader in 2025-26!

Pacho: the surprise package! A novice last season, the Ecuadorian will have much more pressure on his shoulders this season. With Marquinhos likely to gradually lose playing time and influence to best prepare for his succession, Pacho will be the defensive leader of the Parisian team.

The Young Talent to Watch 💎

Last season, Senny Mayulu stood out every time Luis Enrique gave him playing time. His goal in the Champions League final is a perfect example.

The young 19-year-old midfielder will likely have even more opportunities to shine this season. And, who knows, why not become a serious alternative to one of the three indisputable midfielders?
