Paris Saint‑Germain – Ligue 1 25/26 – New Era of Youth, Strategy, and Stars

Club Renewal and Tactical Reinvention

As Paris Saint‑Germain heads into the 2025–26 season, the club has undergone a bold and strategic transformation. Leaving behind the high-profile era of Mbappé, Messi, and Neymar, manager Luis Enrique has focused on building a cohesive, youth-driven team marked by tactical discipline and collective drive. This shift delivered historic results last season: a Ligue 1 title, domestic cup win, and PSG’s first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy.

PSG invested €225 million into young, dynamic talents like Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia—highlighting the club’s pivot toward energetic, balanced football. Veteran figures like Marquinhos, now captain and the club’s all-time appearance leader, and Achraf Hakimi provide stability and leadership. Meanwhile, the midfield trio of Vitinha, Warren Zaïre‑Emery, and João Neves brings a mix of technique, control, and tactical awareness.

Standout Players for the Upcoming Season

Several players are at the core of PSG’s refreshed identity:

• Ousmane Dembélé: The prolific forward netted 33 goals and provided 15 assists across all competitions. His performances earned him both Ligue 1 Player of the Year and Champions League Player of the Season.

• Désiré Doué: The teenage sensation played a decisive role in the Champions League final with two goals and an assist. He was named both Young Player of the Season and UNFP’s top young talent.

• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: Arriving from Napoli in January, the Georgian winger made an instant impact, scoring in the Champions League final and becoming the first Georgian to win Ligue 1.

• Vitinha, Zaïre‑Emery, João Neves: These midfielders are vital to PSG’s control and rhythm, blending technical prowess and creativity. Vitinha also serves as vice-captain under Luis Enrique.
