Senegalese striker Ibrahim Mbaye made a significant impact during his first start since February, as he took the pitch for Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, May 2, in a Ligue 1 match. This opportunity came after he had been sidelined following the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Coach Luis Enrique placed his trust in the young player, who quickly proved his worth by scoring in the 6th minute against Lorient during matchday 32. Despite PSG ultimately finishing in a 2-2 draw, the 18-year-old ended his goal drought that had persisted since December 6, 2025, when he last scored against Rennes.
With this goal, Mbaye registered his second league goal of the season for Paris Saint-Germain, demonstrating his potential as a rising star in French football.
