After the 0-0 start against Lorient, it was the second disappointment for PSG in the early part of the season. PSG will have to do without the departed superstars Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Neymar (Al-Hilal).

There were also rumors of a change at Mbappé: he had informed the club that he did not want to extend his contract, which ran until 2024. Because of the dispute that had been smoldering for weeks, the striker was temporarily excluded from team training. He has only been able to train with the team again for a few days.
