Luis Enrique's side, fresh off winning back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, used the match to give valuable minutes to several academy prospects, with many senior players and World Cup stars still returning after the summer break.

Mallorca capitalized on PSG's lack of match sharpness, with goals from Angolan forward M'Bala Nzola Luvumbo (21'), Jan Virgili (40'), and Antonio Raíllo (51') securing a convincing victory for the newly promoted Spanish side.

A Valuable Test for PSG's Young Talent

With several first-team stars unavailable, including many World Cup participants, Luis Enrique opted to field a squad packed with academy graduates and promising youngsters.

Among those who featured were Quentin Ndjantou Mbitcha, Ibrahim Mbaye, Dimitri Lucea, Adam Ayari, Paul Bourdin, and Younes Idder, all of whom took advantage of the opportunity to impress with the senior team.

Ibrahim Mbaye was one of PSG's brightest attacking threats and nearly found the net in the 20th minute, only to see his powerful effort crash off the crossbar. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, one of the few established first-team players in the lineup, also produced flashes of quality despite the defeat.

A Defeat With No Lasting Consequences

Despite missing out on the Trofeo Ciutat de Palma—a trophy PSG previously won in 1982 by defeating Slovan Bratislava—the result carried little significance for the French champions.

The match served primarily as their first preseason outing following a historic campaign, with the coaching staff focused on rebuilding match fitness, evaluating young talent and laying the foundations for another demanding season.

As PSG's senior stars gradually return over the coming days, Luis Enrique will be looking to restore the squad to full strength ahead of the start of the official campaign, where the club is once again expected to be among the favorites to compete for major honors in France and Europe.
