Match

Paris Saint-Germain make home a hard place to visit

43 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Match

Whatever happens, Paris Saint-Germain do not lose

19 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Player ratings

A brace, and Vitinha takes the afternoon — 8.34

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vitinha provided it, and the 8.34 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Adam Ayari moves on

Angers SCO pay $4.6M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Boardroom

5 academy graduates step up at Paris Saint-Germain

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Matvey Safonov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match

Paris Saint-Germain find a way past Paris FC

Paris FC made Paris Saint-Germain work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market

Paris Saint-Germain promote Charles Schneider from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Charles Schneider has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Vincent Leroux joins the Paris Saint-Germain first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Vincent Leroux is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
