PSG's Pre-Season Woes Continue The Paris Saint-Germain team, still reeling from the effects of the World Cup, suffered a 3-0 defeat to Mallorca in their first pre-season friendly match in Spain. This loss marks the second consecutive pre-season defeat for the French side, following their previous friendly loss.

Mallorca's Dominant Performance Mallorca's victory was largely due to their dominant performance, with the Spanish side taking the lead through Zito Luvumbo's goal in the 21st minute. The Angolan forward's strike set the tone for the rest of the match, as Mallorca continued to pressurise the PSG defence. Jan Virgili, a player revealed by Barcelona, doubled the lead for Mallorca in the 40th minute, before Antônio Raillo sealed the win for the home team in the second half.

PSG's Squad Rotation PSG coach Luis Enrique made several changes to his squad during the match, with Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lucas Beraldo being among the few players to start the match. The French side's squad rotation was evident, with eight players being substituted in the second half, including the introduction of William Pacho, an Equatorial Guinean defender. This rotation is likely a result of the World Cup's impact on the team, with many players still recovering from their international commitments.

Next Matches for PSG PSG's next and final pre-season friendly match is scheduled to take place against Manchester United on Saturday. The French side will then begin their official campaign with the UEFA Super Cup against Aston Villa on August 12 in Salzburg, Austria. This will be a crucial test for PSG, as they look to bounce back from their pre-season losses and start their domestic and European campaigns on a strong note.
