Daily Digest: PSG cruise past Angers, Donnarumma bids farewell | OneFootball

This Friday, August 1st, the French press (on the sports side) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s 1-0 victory over Angers during the 2nd matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. A controlled win, even if the team still lacks the efficiency to shine and finish things off “comfortably.” There was also the tribute paid to Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 26-year-old goalkeeper who has been asked to leave four years after his arrival and with one year left on his contract.

L’Equipe –

PSG is still not dazzling, but it is nonetheless off to a good start. Many expected them to struggle at the beginning of this season, but they are dominating and winning by a wide margin. With less flair and fewer goals than usual. Which is not illogical, given that they are at the start of their preparation/physical ramp-up. Hopefully, there won’t be any negative aftereffects later in this special year, as the Parisians seem to be in relatively good shape after all.

In any case, for now, they can continue on serenely. We can also highlight their great defensive solidity, while waiting for more efficiency. That’s not insignificant.

As for Donnarumma, nothing specific was organized by the club, and perhaps that’s something to regret. But the supporters took the time during the presentation of last season’s trophies. A very beautiful moment, with emotion from the Italian goalkeeper and a little improvised celebration by the other players, led by captain Marquinhos (31-year-old defender). Arnau Tenas (24-year-old goalkeeper rumored to be leaving) also got his own little moment.
