Paris Saint-Germain stumbled in their preseason preparations, suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Mallorca just a week before the UEFA Super Cup clash. The reigning European champions fielded a side missing key players who had recently returned from the World Cup, and their defensive performance was notably weak, despite the presence of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyi. Mallorca appeared sharper and more energetic, netting two goals in the first half before extending their lead decisively after the break. PSG’s coaching staff attributed the loss to exceptional circumstances and a lack of match fitness.
