Of course, this is following the UEFA Super Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur last Wednesday and last season’s campaign that lasted a grueling 65 matches. Is there too much football?Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast is Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise and French football expert Jonathan Johnson. We discuss a wide range of topics, including the 1-0 win over FC Nantes, the latest on Gianluigi Donnarumma, Ligue 1 potentially playing a match in the United States, and whether football fans and players are being taken advantage of by those who run football.Up first is Ethan, who joined me before kickoff against Nantes. I get his thoughts on PSG’s new third kit, and I get his takeaways from the Super Cup victory. Then, we get into the Gianluigi Donnarumma situation, and the latest comments from Luis Enrique about the decision to move on from the goalkeeper being his alone. We also talk about the latest news coming out of La Liga, that FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF could play a match in Miami this season, and whether Ligue 1 should do the same.Next, Jonathan joins right after the match against Nantes. I get his thoughts on the new Ligue 1+ subscription service and whether the game is heading to a breaking point with clubs increasingly playing more games and ticket prices increasing for supporters. I also ask about Illia Zabarnyi’s debut and whether Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué could play their way into a starting role for France next summer in the FIFA World Cup with a great season with PSG.

However, the transfer market never rests, and there’s plenty of outgoing and incoming news to discuss.Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast is PSG fan James Carter (@its_jcj). We talk about Lucas Beraldo’s future, why PSG hasn’t signed a center-back yet, the FIFA Club World Cup final, and much more.Up first, it’s the news that Lucas Beraldo wants out of the club as he seeks more playing time elsewhere. There’s been some contradicting reporting, but it makes sense that the 21-year-old would want to move on if he doesn’t feel the club is ready to start him over Marquinhos.Sticking with center-back news, we turn our attention to AFC Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi. The reporting suggests that Zabarnyi wants to join PSG, but the two clubs are approximately €10 million apart in their transfer fee demands. We discuss why PSG has yet to increase their bid and whether they should secure the deal before other teams get involved.We also talk about the loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, and the tournament as a whole, as James attended the match against Atletico Madrid at The Rose Bowl. Should PSG be concerned about their performance in the final, or was the win over Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid in the semi-final what they really came for?We conclude by discussing Hugo Ekitike and Xavi Simons, two former PSG players who are reportedly heading to the Premier League, and what our expectations are for PSG with the 2025-26 season less than a month away.Thank you for listening and subscribing.
