Villarreal - PSG team news and expert analysis
The Spanish club finished ahead of Atlético in the battle for third place last season. Nevertheless, they changed their manager over the summer. Their start has not been ideal: dropping points too often, they are currently lingering in mid-table. The Parisian giants, meanwhile, missed out only on the French Cup in 2025/2026. They also suffered a setback on the domestic scene after the break, losing the Super Cup to Lens. As usual, they are not forcing the pace in Ligue 1, but no one doubts that they will once again establish themselves as the outright leaders over the course of the season.
In the Champions League, Iñigo Pérez's side began with another defeat, although they put up a strong fight against Borussia Dortmund in Germany, losing 2-3. They then produced a convincing 3-1 victory over Napoli. Against Liverpool away from home, they scored twice early in the game but ultimately ended up on the losing side.
The French side, who have won the tournament twice in a row, opened their campaign with a 6-1 thrashing, although their opponents were modest Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava. They then defeated one of the favorites, Manchester City, away from home. And against Barcelona, they repeated the feat with a 4-2 victory!
