What a season for Bradley Barcola. Arriving in the very last hours of the 2023 summer transfer window at Paris Saint-Germain from Olympique Lyonnais for the sum of 50 million euros, the young French winger surprised his world this year.

The 21-year-old has moved into another dimension and managed to establish himself as an important starter in Luis Enrique’s squad but above all has become a French international. The Parisian will play Euro 2024 with the Blues.

This Saturday evening, during the Coupe de France final (2-1 victory), number 29 shone once again. He was very active in his left lane against his former team. At the end of the meeting, during the festivities, he slightly upset his former supporters at the request of Kylian Mbappé with the Coupe de France trophy in hand.

A more than promising season

Bradley Barcola is no longer the same player. Arriving as a French hopeful last summer, the former Olympique Lyonnais player won over the Parisian people and defied the predictions within the red and blue squad.

The Frenchman earned his place in the Parisian squad by performing more than well when the coach called on him. In important meetings, he was often present, notably during the round of 16 against Real Sociedad but especially during the quarter-final return against FC Barcelona where he was one of the key players.
