The state of play for 2019!
With the festive period drawing to a close, the capital club's players can start looking ahead to the big dates that await them in 2019. Check what's on the cards for all of Paris Saint-Germain's teams in the second half of the season.
Senior team
Training resumes on 4 January! Thomas Tuchel's men return to competition on Sunday against Pontivy in the Coupe de France's round of 64. Four-time reigning champions, Les Rouge et Bleu will head to Brittany as they officially being their title defence. Next up, they face Guingamp in the Coupe de la Ligue at the Parc des Princes on 9 January before heading to Amiens for the resumption of league duties the following Saturday.
Les Rouge et Bleu will then play host to Rennes before heading to Lyon on the weekend of 2-3 February. A busy start to the year ahead of an exciting trip to Old Trafford for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg on 12 February. There are still many, many big games coming up for the capital club in 2019!
U19s
Meanwhile it's all systems go as the coaching duo of Thiago Motta and Regis Beunardeau tackle their first season in charge of Paris Saint-Germain's U19s. Currently second in the U19 National, four points behind leaders Caen, the young Parisians have also punched their ticket for the UEFA Youth League play-offs. They head to Berlin to take on their counterparts at Hertha Berlin on 19 February.
However, the U19s first outing for 2019 is a derby against Fleury in the Coupe Gambardella's round of 64 on 13 January. The following week, they get back into league action with a trip to face Entente Sannois Saint Gratien.
Women's team
Paris Saint-Germain's women will also be defending their title! Winners in the Coupe de France final over Lyon in May last year, Olivier Echouafni's players kick off 2019 by playing host to D2 side Brequigny on Sunday at 14:30 at the Stade Georges Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
On 12 January, the Parisiennes head to Lille for the resumption of D1 league duties ahead of an eagerly anticipated UEFA Women's Champions League double-header against Chelsea!
Handball
On top of the Lidl StarLigue table - as well as their Velux EHF Champions League group - Paris Saint-Germain Handball are on track to defend their titles in the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue (Final4 in Le Mans in March). Their performance has been almost perfect so far this season - a trend that Raul Gonzalez's men will be out to confirm in 2019 as they look to go all the way in every competition they are competing in.
They will of course be looking to defend their title of Champions of France and claim a fifth successive national crown. They will also be hunting their fourth Velux EHF Champions League Final4 berth in Cologne in four seasons. As it stands, Nikola Karabatic and his teammates have a three-point lead over second-placed Szeged and are well on track to qualify directly for the quarter-finals. European gold would be a fitting way to send off captain Thierry Omeyer, who will be making the final appearances of his playing career in the moths to come.
