This Sunday, March 8, 2026, as Paris Saint-Germain prepares to host Chelsea on Wednesday in the Round of 16 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (second leg on March 17), PSG has a small event to celebrate: Warren Zaïre-Emery, the midfielder who came up through the Parisian youth system, is turning 20.
With 204 club appearances already under his belt (including 37 in the Champions League) and 9 caps for the French national team, Zaïre-Emery gives the impression of already being a seasoned player. This impression is reinforced by the maturity he displays in his play and his public statements. But he has only just turned 20 and still has much to achieve in his career, continuing to develop.
Some have raised expectations very quickly for the Parisian youth player, forgetting that he is still just a young player. But Zaïre-Emery is truly special. Becoming a regular in major competitions at his age is a real achievement. Especially after managing to bounce back from a difficult period. It’s not just about riding a wave of good performances. He’s a solid midfielder. He’s also versatile, having developed his game at right-back in Paris.
This makes him an even more valuable option for PSG, as well as for the French national team. We wish him continued success, with the 2026 World Cup coming up this summer, and a very happy birthday, of course.
