Paris Saint-Germain will begin the new French Ligue 1 season against FC Lorient at Parc des Princes. The Parisians are entering the new season as the league’s defending champions.

Ahead of the start of the season, there’s been a lot going on at the club. Firstly, Luis Enrique would be in charge of the team even as they look to build for the future.

Secondly, some on-field player decisions saw the exclusion of their key player Kylian Mbappe from the squad that participated in Asia. The Frenchman’s availability for the season’s first game remains a mystery.

FC Lorient, on the other hand, finished 10th in the league last season.
