PSG secured their third consecutive Ligue 1 victory with a 3-1 win over Le Mans at the Parc des Princes, as substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Maghnes Akliouche turned the game after Louis Mafouta had stunned the champions with an equaliser. The matchday 6 clash, played on 10 October 2026, saw Luis Enrique make nine changes to his starting lineup with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League trip to Manchester City. Lucas Beraldo, one of the players brought in, opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 19th minute after a VAR review spotted a handball by Harold Voyer. PSG dominated possession but were pegged back nine minutes after the break when Mafouta fired home Lucas Calodat's low cross following a VAR check for offside. Enrique responded with a quadruple substitution, and the impact was immediate. Fabian Ruiz forced a save from Nicolas Kocik, and Kvaratskhelia was alert to finish the rebound in the 61st minute. Akliouche, a summer signing from Monaco, sealed the win seven minutes later with his first goal for the club, a composed low finish into the near corner. Desire Doue missed a penalty in stoppage time, but PSG held on to climb to fifth with 11 points. Can PSG maintain this momentum at Manchester City?
