PSG Beat Auxerre 2-0, Injuries Raise Concerns

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Auxerre 2-0 at the Parc des Princes, with goals from Illia Zabarnyi and Lucas Beraldo. The win was delivered by a makeshift squad—teenagers Senny Mayulu started and Quentin Ndjantou and Mathis Jangeal made senior appearances—while regulars Marquinhos, João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé were absent. Stand-in captain Vitinha and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were forced off injured, leaving doubts over their availability for Wednesday's Champions League trip to Barcelona. The victory moved PSG to 15 points, three clear of Marseille, Monaco, Lyon and Strasbourg. PSG now head into the Barcelona clash with squad selection and fitness concerns that could shape their Champions League hopes.
