AUXERRE, France (Jan. 23, 2026) (Interstat) — Paris Saint-Germain opened its Ligue 1 campaign with a 1-0 victory over Auxerre on Friday, secured by a late goal from substitute Bradley Barcola.

The match at Stade de l’Abbé Deschamps was a defensive stalemate for much of the evening, defying statistical projections that heavily favored the visiting side. The breakthrough came in the 79th minute when Barcola finished a play set up by fellow substitute Lucas Beraldo, who was shown a yellow card earlier in the half.

The result gives PSG a win to start its league season, while Auxerre begins with a loss. Both clubs see their overall season records mirror the single competition result.
