The essential
PSG, runner-up in the last edition of Ligue 1 behind Losc, returned to the championship with a trip to the lawn of Troyes, champion of Ligue 2.
Deprived of Neymar, Marquinhos, Di Maria, Verratti, Paredes, Donnarumma (at rest) or even Sergio Ramos (injured), the Parisians approach this match with a very reshaped group.
ESTAC, led by its rookie Renaud Ripart, will try to neutralize PSG as Nantes and Brest did against Monaco and Lyon, two of Paris' main opponents for the title.

8:20 p.m.
