Paris Saint-Germain prepares to face the Olympique de Marseille as part of the Classic of the 5th day of Ligue 1, a crucial match that will take place at the Orange Vélodrome on Sunday 21 September 2025 at 8:45 pm. The Parisian coach, Luis Enrique, communicated a group of 21 players for this match, despite several notable absences. These absences include Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, João Neves and Bradley Barcola, the latter being a precautionary package due to muscle discomfort. However, Lucas Beraldo is back in the group after an injury. The Parisian team, in full confidence after five consecutive wins all competitions, relies on its collective strength to overcome these challenges and continue its series.

Recently, several players from Paris FC, including Ilaan Kebbale, Tyler Morton and João Neves, were nominated by the UNFP for the title of Best Player of the Month in August. Ilan Kebbale finally won this prize, having distinguished himself by his performances in the first three championship games, where he scored three goals and issued a decisive pass. These distinctions demonstrate the positive impact of these young players on their respective clubs and their potential for the coming season. Their impressive start to the season was hailed by the UNFP, highlighting their contribution to the dynamics of their teams.

The group of players convened by the PSG for the game against OM includes key players such as Hakimi, Marquinhos, Vitinha and Mbaye. Despite the significant absences, Luis Enrique does not seem to have included new players in this group, focusing on confidence in the players available. The coach highlighted the team’s ability to cope with absences through its depth and team spirit, an asset that he considers essential to the success of the Classic. The meeting promises to be an exciting confrontation, with the PSG determined to continue its positive dynamic despite the challenges.
