On Saturday morning, more than 600 PSG ultras gathered at the PSG Campus in Poissy to encourage the team before its last training before the crucial game against OM. Fans have deployed banners with explicit messages, including “For the honor of the coat of arms, humiliate these buffoons” and “prestigious cups for a glorious history. Europe is Paris”, bearing witness to the wait and passion surrounding this Classic. The event also attracted families and children, offering an overview of the electrical atmosphere that characterizes the encounters between the two Parisian clubs.

At the same time, FC Barcelona, through its sports director Deco, reaffirmed its ambition to win the Champions League, an unfulfilled goal since 2015. Deco highlighted the impressive work of PSG and its coach Luis Enrique, considered one of the main candidates for victory. He recognized the growing strength of competitors like Liverpool and Real Madrid, but insisted on the need for Barça to qualify first for the group phase. The next shock between the PSG and the Barça is scheduled for October 1st in Montjuïc, a particularly significant event for Luis Enrique, who won the Champions League with Barcelona.

Finally, Paris Saint-Germain agreed to the participation of two young talents, Quentin NdjanTouet and Noham Kamaara, in the World Cup in Chile. This decision, although allowing the club to retain its players, means a temporary absence for young footballers until the end of the competition. Francesco Acerbì, defender of the Inter Milan, spoke of the defeat of his team in the final of the Champions League against the PSG in 2025, stressing the lucidity and superiority of the Parisians that day, while expressing pride for the journey accomplished by his team.
