Luis Enrique, PSG coach, warmly welcomed Nuno Mendes’ qualities for the match against Olympique de Marseille. He sees the Portuguese left side as one of the most comprehensive players he had the opportunity to train. This statement comes in a difficult context for Paris Saint-Germain, which faces several important absences for the Classic. The team has already lost key players such as Ousmané Dembélé, Désiré Doué and João Neves, which further weakens its attack.

Concerns are growing about Bradley Barcola’s availability for Sunday’s game. The young attacker experienced muscle discomfort during the last training session and did not participate in the entire exercise. As a precautionary measure, Luis Enrique plans to leave him on the reserve bench for this crucial trip to Marseille. This situation is in addition to the list of PSG absences, making the task more difficult for the Paris team.

In addition, attention is also drawn to the future winner of Ballon d’Or 2025. Rumors indicate that Ousmané Dembélé would be preferred in front of competitors like Lamine Yamal. The trophy ceremony, which will take place on Monday evening at the Châtelet Theatre, will be enhanced by the presence of a Brazilian football legend, Ronaldinho, who will present the prize to the winner. The outcome of this competition remains uncertain, but the suspense is palpable and the Parisian team must focus on Sunday’s game, hoping that Barcola can recover in time.
