PSG players international duty report:

France 2-1 Brazil

France came out victorious in their clash against Brazil, thanks to goals from two former PSG players, Kylian Mbappé and Hugo Ekitike. Ousmane Dembélé who featured 58 minutes on the pitch delivered a sublime assist on Mbappé's opener. He was subbed off following Dayot Upamecano's red card and appeared to be slightly injured when leaving the pitch which worried PSG fans. However, it was reported that everything was fine for the 2025 Ballon d'Or. Désiré Doué started the clash on the bench and came on after 66 minutes, just after the second goal of his side. Lucas Chevalier, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Hernandez remained on the bench.

Russia 3-1 Nicaragua

Morocco 1-1 Ecuador

Both Achraf Hakimi and Willian Pacho played 90 minutes as Morocco secured a late draw against Ecuador with Hakimi delivering an assist in the dying minutes of the clash. Both sides are already qualified for the World Cup and are ramping up their preparations with friendlies.

Ukraine 1-3 Sweden

Ukraine and Illia Zabarnyi faced Sweden in a crucial World Cup Qualifying Playoff match and Viktor Gyokeres' dominated their opponents, led by an hat-trick of the Arsenal striker.
