On Wednesday night at the Parc des Princes, a special guest was seated in the stands: Guy Stéphan, Didier Deschamps’ right-hand man with the French national team. He was there to keep an eye on several players ahead of the World Cup.
Maghnès Akliouche is regaining form at just the right time. After weeks of doubt, the Monaco player shone against PSG, despite Monaco’s elimination. Watching him closely was Guy Stéphan, a key figure in Deschamps’ staff. His presence was far from insignificant, especially considering that several French players were under observation.
A Strong Statement Ahead of the World Cup
Among them, Maghnès Akliouche did not miss his opportunity. Against PSG, in the midst of the Champions League and inside a red-hot stadium, the young talent delivered a performance full of personality. Enough to catch the eye of the national team staff, even though he chose to play it down when speaking afterward: “I’m focused on my club, the rest will come later.”
Called up for the first time in September 2025, Akliouche has gradually carved out a place for himself in France’s formidable attack. But this match carried special meaning. Under the watchful eye of Guy Stéphan, he stepped up in a high-level context, proving he can handle the pressure of big European nights. More than just a strong performance, it was a clear message to the head coach: Akliouche is ready to matter. It is now up to Didier Deschamps to decide.
