This Sunday at 9pm (CET) Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Paris FC (11th) at the Stade Jean Bouin as part of the 34th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026. In a press conference, PFC goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, 35, a former PSG player, spoke about the upcoming match and their Parisian opponent.
Trapp: “I learned a lot, grew with PSG”
“It’s definitely a bit special. I learned a lot, grew with PSG, but since we’ve already played two matches against them this season, it’s not the same. It won’t change anything in my preparation. We’re eager to play this kind of match, at home, we want to finish strong. It’s a great match to show the level we’re at today. We’ll be able to compare ourselves to one of the best teams in Europe, but we mustn’t hide. We mustn’t go there with fear.”
For Kevin Trapp, this Paris FC/PSG match inevitably holds a special significance, even if the thrill of the reunion has faded after two previous encounters this season. The German goalkeeper hasn’t tried to overplay the emotion: his time at Paris Saint-Germain left its mark on him, he grew up there, but Sunday’s match must primarily serve the present of Paris FC.
At home, against a Parisian team firmly established among Europe’s elite, the objective is clear: finish strong, demonstrate a high level of competitiveness, and approach this duel with no fear. The message is quite sound: respect PSG, yes, but without being a willing victim. For Paris FC, this gala match remains a true test.
In this context, Trapp perfectly embodies the bridge between the two Parisian clubs: attached to his past at PSG, but fully committed to the progress of Paris FC. A clear-headed stance, without unnecessary fanfare. And it’s often in this way that a prestigious match becomes truly interesting.”
