- Captain Marquinhos left injured at half-time, prompting Illya Zabarnyi’s introduction alongside goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, who again deputised for the absent Lucas Chevalier.
- PSG sit on 13 points in third place, three clear of 15th, with trips to Sporting Portugal on January 20 and a home game against Newcastle on January 28 to clinch a top‑eight berth.
- Key players were unavailable: Achraf Hakimi remained sidelined, Ousmane Dembélé was ill and rested, Chevalier continued treatment, and Lucas Hernandez served a UEFA suspension.
