Concerns are beginning to emerge among PSG fans, the day after the draw snatched in Reims (1-1), and Arsenal are looming.

Bradley Bracola underperforms that at the very beginning of the season, PSG would be feeling the pinch a little? The day after a draw brought back from Reims on Saturday evening with great success

(1-1)the regular observers and followers of the Parisian club seem to be worried. The level of play displayed in Champagne is in line with the performance achieved four days earlier against the Spanish team of Girona in the Champions League (1-0, goal by Dembélé in the 90th minute…).

In front of the media, at the end of this Reims-PSG, the coach Luis Enrique considered that his team had given its maximum, underlining the defensive tactics of the Reims opponent. The Team did not spare him by writing that Désiré Doué in the role of a false 9 was not a good idea to come from the brain of the Spanish technician.

The test against Arsenal

The former Stade Rennais hopeful left the field injured, with an ankle injury. Another element likely to cast doubt on PSG’s abilities after Kylian Mbappé. The Parisian club must deal with some infirmary concerns. In Reims, Luis Enrique was without goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and striker Marco Asensio, both injured. The Italian and the Spaniard had joined Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembé and Gonçalo Ramos, who are undergoing treatment.

Right-back Achraf Hakimi, who was rested, was also missing from the Stade Auguste-Delaune. All these absences can also partly explain the last two Parisian matches described as unconvincing. Against Stade Rennais, Friday September 27 at home, and in London, on October 1 to challenge Arsenal in the Champions League, we will know more about this slight slump for the French champions. If their collective struggles to weigh on the opponent, the autumn sky could be stormy above the Factory in Boulogne-Billancourt.
