The Parc des Princes hosted another derby, welcoming Paris FC for Matchday 17 of Ligue 1. And in this first match of 2026, Paris Saint-Germain found the back of the net twice, securing a 2-1 victory against their local rivals, PFC (video highlights). Willem Geubbels, who scored from the penalty spot, didn’t have too many regrets and spoke to L1+ about the defeat.
Geubbels: “We came here to do something great at the Parc des Princes.”
Do you have any regrets?
Not many regrets regarding the result, but we came here to do something great at the Parc des Princes. The defeat is there, but we have nothing to be ashamed of because they are, after all, the European champions. We tried to do what the coach asked us to do. We didn’t succeed, but there’s no shame in tonight’s result.
Geubbels: “Yes, of course, great atmosphere, great pitch.”
Did you enjoy yourself nonetheless?
Yes, of course, great atmosphere, great pitch, but they’re still a top-level team and they did what they do best, but the enjoyment is there. You still have to want to get results. We might have some regrets, but the most important thing is that we didn’t show any weakness. We can hold our heads high.
PSG again in the Coupe de France, what will need to change?
I don’t know yet, we’ll have to do some analysis. We’ll see if anything changes next week.
