On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Jonathan Johnson of CBS Sports to discuss PSG’s 3-0 win over Marseille at the Orange Vélodrome where the hosts made several mistakes that ultimately led to many of their fans heading for the exits before halftime.

It's a tale as old as time. Paris Saint-Germain outplays an opponent and creates plenty of scoring chances but falls asleep for a split second and ultimately settles for less than it deserves.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down the frustrating 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven at the Parc des Princes. We discuss the scoring woes and Luis Enrique's lineup decisions, and we look ahead to Sunday's important clash against Olympique de Marseille.
We begin with the result against PSV. PSG recorded 26 total shots and an xG of 2.43 yet only managed a single goal from Achraf Hakimi in the second half to rescue a point. We question the decision to play Kang-In Lee as a false nine and whether a lack of skill or concentration is to blame for the lack of goals.
One big moment in the match occurred in the second half when Marco Asensio appeared to be tackled from behind while going for a cross from Hakimi. Initially, the referee, Glenn Nyberg, awarded PSG the penalty. But, after VAR got involved, Nyberg changed his decision, and the match ended 1-1. We debate whether that was the right decision or if, once again, PSG was on the receiving end of a poor decision.
With the draw, PSG is on the edge of the UEFA Champions League table and could not qualify for the knockout stage, with fixtures against Atletico Madrid and FC Bayern Munich on the horizon. We share our concerns for PSG at the moment and whether they can turn things around in the tournament.
The show concludes with a preview of PSG's match on Sunday against Marseille. Will we see a PSG squad with a Champions League hangover, or will Luis Enrique have his team ready for what will be a hostile atmosphere?

Three Ligue 1 matches and three convincing wins for Paris Saint-Germain, who sit atop the Ligue 1 table heading into the international break.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down the 3-1 win over LOSC Lille and we look ahead to the revamped UEFA Champions League.
Up first, it's the win over Lille. We discuss what we liked from the match, including Bradley Barcola's performance. How many goals can the Frenchman score this season, and can PSG's attack continue its impressive goalscoring streak with 13 goals in three matches?
We also discuss aspects of the win that were not so great for PSG, including a defense that struggled at times against Lille. We also question some of Luis Enrique's early substitutions that seemed to play into Lille's strategy.
After talking about Ligue 1, we switch gears to the Champions League, where PSG will host Girona FC, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester City at the Parc des Princes and travel to play Arsenal FC, FC Bayern Munich, Salzburg FC, and Stuttgart. It's statistically the most difficult draw and PSG will need to remain healthy to secure a place in the knockout round. We name the fixtures we're most looking forward to and predict how many points PSG will likely secure.

This is supposed to be a time of excitement for Paris Saint-Germain supporters. The club has announced the signing of João Neves, and after a month of waiting, Désiré Doué appears to be headed to the French capital as well. However, for many fans around the world, including those in the United States, worry is setting in as there is currently no broadcast deal in place to air PSG and Ligue 1 matches this season.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by long-time contributor Marc Damon and newcomer Mike McNally to discuss just how one of Europe's top leagues has left international fans in the dark with just a few days before the start of the 2024-25 season.
We start with a discussion of the current situation regarding the domestic and international broadcast rights for Ligue 1. We talk about who the decision makers are, what organizations are involved, and how French football is drifting behind the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, and Serie A.
The absence of a legitimate broadcaster, especially in the United States, underscores the failure of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to promote Ligue 1 in the country. We discuss the impact of not marketing Ligue 1 in the U.S. and how clubs like A.F.C. Bournemouth and Wrexham A.F.C. have traveled to the U.S. to build a fanbase while Ligue 1 clubs have not.
We agree that beIN Sports is most likely going to be the last-minute suitor for Ligue 1 rights in the U.S., but the LFP seems to be holding out for something better. Whether better means more money or more viewers remains to be seen, but DAZN, HBO Max, and Apple TV could be potential options if beIN Sports does not get the rights.
We conclude the show by discussing Ligue 1 as a content vessel and how it should be easy to sell to distributors worldwide. Ultimately, passionate fans in the U.S. and elsewhere will suffer until the LFP figures out how to get the product on as many televisions, computers, tablets, and mobile devices as possible. The league is falling behind and needs to make drastic moves to first cater to the fans who care about the league the most and then build upon that fanbase to secure the health of the league overall.

Paris Saint-Germain finally announced a long-awaited signing this week, but with the Ligue 1 season just a week away, there's still business to be done in the final month of the summer transfer window.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to discuss João Neves's arrival, Xavi Simons's departure, a Bundesliga defender rumor, and whether there will be any August surprises.
First, we react to PSG finally announcing Neves. The deal dragged out for weeks, and in the end, PSG will pay Benfica a total package of €70 million, plus Renato Sanches. We discuss how he will fit in the squad and how he will improve PSG's midfield.
Next, we talk about the potential arrival of Willian Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt. All summer, PSG has tried to strengthen its defense to no avail. From all reports, Pacho has agreed to terms with PSG and could be announced in the coming days. We discuss his rise through the ranks and whether he'll be an immediate starter.
In terms of outgoing players, we finally got an answer to summer's biggest question, "Where will Xavi Simons play next season." After a series of cryptic posts on social media, Simons returned to RB Leipzig for another season on loan with no obligation to buy. We discuss why the Netherlands international refused to return to PSG and whether it's a risk to loan him again for another season.
Finally, we look ahead to potential transfers and departures in August, including whether PSG will make a big move for a superstar player.

The big summer tournaments come to a close on Sunday, and so did a grueling process regarding the broadcast rights for Ligue 1.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Marc Damon to discuss the latest developments regarding the Ligue 1 broadcast rights, what Paris Saint-Germain should do regarding Xavi Simons, and we answer questions from listeners.
Up first, it's all about the deal that was struck regarding domestic TV rights for Ligue 1. According to reports, beIN Sports and DAZN will pay €500 million to broadcast matches in France for at least the next two seasons. We discuss what this means for Ligue 1 clubs, the league as a whole, and whether PSG would ever leave the top flight to join the rumored European Super League.
With the domestic deal finally closing, we turn our focus to international rights. How will fans abroad watch PSG this season? With a month to go until the Ligue 1 season kicks off, we discuss potential broadcasters, including Apple TV, DAZN, Netflix, and Max. Which platform would give PSG and Ligue 1 the most attention, and what other marketing opportunities could be presented?
Next, we discuss the latest report, which shows that the relationship between PSG and Simons is 99% over, following a meeting between the player and Luis Enrique. We debate how the club should handle the player who doesn't want to continue at the club but has become a transfer target for many top clubs following the UEFA European Championship.
We wrap up the show by answering questions sent in by listeners, including who should lead PSG's attack, depth on the wings, and whether Senny Mayulu and Cher Ndour will go out on loan this season.

Summer has officially arrived, and so has a fresh batch of transfer rumors to get Paris Saint-Germain supporters excited for next season.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Jonathan Johnson from CBS Sports to discuss the latest PSG transfer rumors, and we also get an update on Ligue 1 broadcast rights.
First, we get to the breaking news that Manchester United has reportedly made an initial offer for midfielder Manuel Ugarte. I get Johnson's thoughts on why PSG would be ready to move on from Ugarte after one season and whether he would be a good fit at Manchester United and other clubs who may be interested in the Uruguay international.
Next, we discuss whether PSG should move on from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and instead use Luis Enrique's influence to potentially persuade Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams to come to the Parc des Princes.
I also asked Johnson who would be a better fit for PSG: Rayan Cherki from Olympique Lyonnais or Stade Rennais youngster Désiré Doué.
We conclude with the latest on Xavi Simons and what might be keeping him from returning to PSG, under-the-radar players at the UEFA European Championship and Copa América who could be a good fit at PSG, and the potential impact on Ligue 1 teams if a broadcast deal is not agreed upon soon.

The Ligue 1 transfer window is officially open, and Paris Saint-Germain have already signed their backup goalkeeper. What else could be in store for the French champions as they rebuild for next season and look to replace Kylian Mbappé?
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Robin Bairner, chief editor of Football Transfers and columnist for PSG Talk Extra Time. We discuss the top players linked with a move to PSG, who might be leaving, and a potential breakout star for the France national team.
Up first, we discuss the potential arrival of Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and whether another club could swoop in ahead of PSG to win his signature. It's been made public that the player wants to leave to play in the UEFA Champions League, but the Serie A club has stated they have no intention of letting the Georgia international leave.
Bairner shares his thoughts on why Manchester City would be willing to part ways with Julián Álvarez and whether PSG could face competition from another Premier League club in their efforts to sign the attacker.
At 19 years old, João Neves is one of the most talented teenagers in world football. Benfica appear ready to let him leave, but they want a transfer fee north of €100 million. Will the Portugal international leave Benfica and could PSG potentially swap players to lower the transfer fee?
Leny Yoro is PSG's preferred center-back signing, but if he leaves Lille OSC for Real Madrid instead, who should PSG target? I ask Bairner about Kevin Danso and other defenders who could be a good fit at the Parc des Princes.
The show concludes with Bairner sharing whether he thinks Bradley Barcola or Randal Kolo Muani could step up for France should Mbappé miss time due to a broken nose. We also get a transfer prediction featuring a player who is not currently linked with PSG but should be.

Kylian Mbappé is busy preparing for the UEFA European Championship with France, but that didn't keep him from revealing some troubling revelations about Paris Saint-Germain.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Jonathan Johnson from CBS Sports to react to Mbappé's comments about his experience at PSG, the latest on Xavi Simons, the latest transfer rumors, and I get his prediction on who will win the Euros this summer.
Up first, we dive into the Mbappé situation where earlier this week, he said that at the start of the season, he was told in a violent manner that he would not be playing for PSG. It wasn't until Luis Campos and Luis Enrique intervened that he was able to play. We react to Mbappé's press conference and why there is bad blood between the former PSG superstar and Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
I also asked Johnson whether he thinks Mbappé colluded with Real Madrid to leave on a free transfer and whether the Frenchman will be viewed negatively for chasing a trophy that he couldn't win at PSG.
We transition away from Mbappé to another player causing drama for PSG. Xavi Simons was expected to return to France following his loan at RB Leipzig, but his future remains in question, with a decision likely coming after the Euros. I asked Johnson his thoughts on where he sees the Netherlands international playing next season.
The show concludes with Johnson reacting to the latest transfer news that PSG is interested in signing Julián Álvarez from Manchester City and Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen. I also get his pick to win the Euros and which PSG player will have a breakout performance.
