New PSG goalkeeper Buffon beaten on difficult debut
Paris Saint-Germain slipped to their first loss under Thomas Tuchel despite fielding Gianluigi Buffon and Adrien Rabiot in the starting XI.
Gianluigi Buffon conceded a penalty as a forgettable first appearance for Paris Saint-Germain ended in a 4-2 loss to third-tier Chambly on Sunday.
Buffon's Paris debut disappoints
The 40-year-old goalkeeper, signed on a free from Juventus, played the first 45 minutes in the behind-closed-doors friendly.
His debut began on a difficult note, giving away an early penalty which set Chambly on their way to a two-goal half-time lead.
PSG's deficit came despite the presence of rumoured Barcelona target Adrien Rabiot, former Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez and United States international Timothy Weah in the starting XI.
Teenagers Colin Dagba and Virgiliu Postolachi netted after half-time to provide the Ligue 1 champions with a measure of optimism, although their goals failed to spare head coach Thomas Tuchel from his first defeat at the helm.
Buffon's next assignment with his new club is a more glamorous International Champions Cup clash with Bayern Munich in Austria on Saturday.
