Enrique 'calm' despite PSG's spate of injuries
The Straits Times
|September 17, 2025
There is a sense that the new season gets up and running for real this week for Paris Saint-Germain as they begin their defence of the Champions League title, amid doubts about how much longer their squad can handle being pushed to the limit by a crowded calendar.
-
PSG will host Atalanta on Sept 17 for their first game in Europe, 3½ months after their stunning 5-0 destruction of Inter Milan in the 2024-25 final.
Luis Enrique's team will also entertain Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United in the league phase, with trips to Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon as well.
Those are tough games, although PSG's poor start in the 2024-25 Champions League campaign has shown that they might not need to be at their very best immediately. The French champions lost three of eight league phase games last season, but still won Europe's elite club competition for the first time following a dazzling run of form from the turn of the year.
The concern now is that last season’s exertions could catch up with them.
