The Parc des Princes in Paris hosts a Ligue 1 Matchday 35 fixture on 2 May 2026 as Paris Saint-Germain welcome Lorient. PSG have already secured the Ligue 1 title for the 2025-26 season, so this match is very much a final-weeks celebration for Luis Enrique’s champions. For Lorient, however, the situation could barely be more different. Sitting ninth in the table, they face an impossible task against the champions but will approach this fixture determined to put in a professional performance and pick up points that may yet be important for their final league position. The Parc des Princes will be in a celebratory mood, and PSG will look to entertain their supporters in one of the final home performances of their title-winning campaign.
Kick-off is scheduled for 5:00 PM BST at the Parc des Princes, Paris.
PSG: Champions in Cruise Control
Paris Saint-Germain have been the dominant force in French football once again in 2025-26. Sitting top of the Ligue 1 table with 69 points from 30 matches played at the time of their most recent fixture, the champions have been clear of the field throughout the second half of the season. Luis Enrique’s side have played attacking, expansive football that has delighted their supporters and established them as one of the most watchable teams in Europe this season.
With the title already secured, Enrique has the luxury of managing his squad carefully in the final weeks of the campaign. Key players will be given rest where possible, and this is an opportunity to give minutes to those who have been on the fringes of the squad throughout the season. PSG’s squad depth is extraordinary, however, and even a heavily rotated side will contain more than enough quality to deal with a Lorient team that has struggled for consistency away from home this season.
PSG’s most recent result was a comfortable 3-0 win over Angers, a performance that showed they remain switched on and professional even with the title already won. Their top scorer Kylian Mbappe has been in outstanding form throughout the campaign, and whether he starts or comes off the bench here, his presence always adds a level of excitement and quality that supporters and neutrals alike appreciate.
Lorient: Looking to Finish the Season Positively
Lorient have had a solid if unspectacular Ligue 1 campaign. Sitting ninth in the table with 41 points, they are comfortably clear of any relegation concerns and have secured their top-flight status for another season. The club will be looking to finish the campaign as high as possible in the final standings and to give their supporters something to celebrate in the closing weeks of the season.
Visiting the Parc des Princes to face already-crowned champions is always one of the most difficult tasks in French football, and Lorient know they face an enormous challenge here. Their away record this season has been their weakness, and a trip to Paris rarely ends in positive results for visiting clubs. However, Lorient have shown on occasions this season that they are a well-organised and hard-working side that can compete against quality opposition when everything clicks.
