Paris Saint-Germain start their pre-season campaign with a friendly against Mallorca on Wednesday although Luis Enrique is expected to rest the players involved in the World Cup.
PSG successfully retained their UEFA Champions League title last season, beating Arsenal on penalties in the final.
Mallorca did not enjoy such a glorious end to 2025/26 as they were relegated from La Liga alongside Real Oviedo and Girona.
PSG face Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on Saturday before taking on Aston Villa, who won the Europa League last season, in the UEFA Super Cup next week.

Mallorca v PSG Prediction
Best Bet: PSG to win & both teams to score @ 9/4
Usually there would be a massive gulf between European champions PSG and a team from the Spanish second division.
However, the Parisian powerhouses will be missing most of their star players, who have been given extra time to recover from their World Cup exertions.
French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, former Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi and brilliant Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are among the senior players who could feature against Mallorca.
Exciting Spanish youngster Dro Fernandez will be hoping for an opportunity in midfield and PSG are worth backing to win a game in which both teams score.
They won the Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League titles last season, but struggled for clean sheets towards the end of the campaign.
PSG conceded at least once in six of their last seven matches and Arsenal took less than six minutes to open the scoring through Kai Havertz in the UEFA Champions League final.
Mallorca should fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet against a depleted PSG side.
They were relegated from La Liga last term despite losing only four of their last 12 games and beating Real Madrid 2-1 in April.
They scored in 12 of their last 13 games and warmed up for Wednesday's test with 3-0 and 4-2 friendly wins over Saudi clubs Al Fateh and Al-Ittihad.
Alternative Bet: Draw/PSG - Half-time/Full-time @ 7/2
PSG are bound to be a little rusty in their first pre-season friendly, which should help Mallorca stay competitive, at least until half-time.
The underdogs started strongly in their first two friendlies, leading 2-0 and 2-1 at the break, and they finished their campaign in La Liga with a 3-0 home win over Real Oviedo.
PSG conceded only 13 first-half goals in 34 Ligue 1 fixtures last term and the draw-PSG selection appeals in the double-result market.
Luis Enrique's men were level at the break in three of their last four league games, against Lorient, Brest and Paris FC, and it may take them time to move through the gears in Mallorca.
The European champions went on to beat Brest 1-0 in May, meaning that they won all 14 of their matches against the bottom seven teams in Ligue 1.
Mallorca v PSG Bet Builder Tip
Half-time - Draw
Most goals in second half
Over 2 goals
Pays 7/1
The half-time draw looks a good Bet Builder selection as Mallorca could frustrate an under-strength PSG side on Wednesday.
PSG scored 41 second-half goals in 34 Ligue 1 games in 2025/26 and they can contribute to an entertaining end to the contest. Back most goals in the second half.
Despite the absence of so many of their star players, PSG have plenty of attacking quality. Over 2 goals should be a winning bet as Mallorca won their first two friendlies by 3-0 and 4-2 scorelines.
