- Eiffel Tower Star: PSG's jersey features an Eiffel Tower star after their Champions League win, but it's exclusively used in international matches.
- Domestic vs. International: The Eiffel Tower star is present in FIFA & UEFA competitions, but absent in domestic Ligue 1 games.
- Reason Unknown: The specific reason for PSG's decision to omit the star in Ligue 1 matches is currently unknown, despite the league typically permitting such symbols.
After their UEFA Champions League victory, PSG added an Eiffel Tower star to their jersey. Now, the first matches of the 25-26 season reveal that the star is only present in non-domestic fixtures.
PSG Do Not Use Eiffel Tower Star in Ligue 1
Paris Saint-Germain used the crest with the Eiffel Tower star in FIFA & UEFA competitions, but without the star in domestic matches. The small design tweak has drawn attention to one of our followers, who noticed the difference between Ligue 1 games and the Champions League.
We have no info on why PSG does not use the star in the Ligue 1. The French league usually should allow the star above the crest (as seen with other Ligue 1 teams like OM and ASSE), so it remains a mystery for now.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
