PSG didn’t like France Football’s coverage

Paris Saint-Germain was reportedly dissatisfied with France Football's coverage after granting the magazine an interview with Fabián Ruiz, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Ousmane Dembélé. According to Le Parisien, the French club was displeased that Kylian Mbappé received the primary focus in the published issue instead of their own players, prompting criticism toward the outlet that manages the Ballon d'Or.

The tension comes amid intense club campaigning for the individual award, with European giants backing their respective stars. While clubs like Real Madrid support Mbappé and Barcelona back Lamine Yamal, PSG has championed its own key figures, leading to frustration when external media coverage appears skewed toward rival contenders.
