Here’s our saga. The 5 good reasons to watch the match (with some adaptations sometimes). We’ll revisit the interesting aspects before each match, with a mix of seriousness and humor. Note that this isn’t meant to be an exhaustive overview of the topic. We’re focusing here on Paris Saint-Germain’s (2nd place) match this Saturday against Auxerre (10th place) at the Parc des Princes, during the 6th matchday of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off 9:05 PM, CET).
5 – Celebrating the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
He won’t be able to play, but Ousmane Dembélé, the 28-year-old PSG forward who is injured, received the 2025 Ballon d’Or on Monday evening. He should be at the Parc des Princes, with a ceremony before the match, to celebrate with the fans. A rare moment that shouldn’t be missed.
4 – Senny Mayulu has something to prove.
The 19-year-old midfielder is looking to cement his place in the team. He made a promising substitute appearance against Marseille on Monday, despite the 1-0 defeat. With the squad rotation, it’s possible he could start this time. He’ll have the opportunity to showcase his technical skills and energy once again. It’s a story we’re eager to follow.
3 – Emerging talents to watch?
With injuries mounting and the squad needing some rest to avoid further problems, not to mention the simple fact of giving more opportunities to homegrown players, several academy youngsters have been training with the first team recently. Perhaps we might even see some of them play.
2 – Preparing for the trip to Barcelona.
It will be impossible not to think about it, and we need to focus on tonight’s match, but PSG is traveling to Barcelona on Wednesday for the 2nd matchday of the Champions League. It’s important to arrive with high confidence, which comes from a good performance and a well-deserved victory this Saturday. We hope to see a determined Parisian team.
1 – Getting back on track.
Let’s not forget the most important thing, even with the Champions League approaching: tonight’s match and its consequences. PSG lost to Marseille in Ligue 1 on Monday and is no longer the league leader. They can’t afford to delay action; a strong response is expected. The title is never won in advance.
