PSG Stars in International Action: How Thursday's Slate Went
Upon the first proper day of the March international break, let's take a look at how things went for the PSG players representing their nations across the globe.
Thursday marked the first full day of the final international break of the 25/26 season, and with it, there was a lot of action for a number of different PSG first-team players. So, let's take a look at who was in action and how things went both collectively and individually. To begin, Ilya Zabarnyi captained Ukraine for their World Cup playoff semi-final against Sweden in Spain.
It wasn't to be for his side, as they fell to a 3-1 defeat on the night. They will now play Albania in a friendly on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, Khvicha Kvartaskhelia was in action for Georgia as they hosted Israel in a friendly - scoring twice in a 2-2 draw, with a strike either side of the half-time break.
These goals mean PSG's number 7 has now scored 22 times in 48 games for his country. They will face Lithuania away from home in a friendly on Sunday. Over in the States, there was plenty of PSG representation as France took on Brazil.
Though not from Marquinhos, who missed the game with a knock picked up in training . Nevertheless, Ousmane Dembele started the game and provided a lovely assist for former PSG forward Kylian Mbappe in the first half to open the scoring. Desire Doue came off the bench in the second half, whilst Warren Zaire-Emery, Lucas Chevalier, and Lucas Hernandez were unused subs.
