French Champions' Trophy Lens 1 - 0 Paris Saint-Germain FT Bradley Barcola was in the France squad which finished fourth at this summer's World Cup [Getty Images] Liverpool target Bradley Barcola was left out of Paris St-Germain's squad as they were narrowly beaten by Lens in the French Super Cup. Barcola has been linked with a move to Anfield this summer, with Liverpool reportedly prepared to pay somewhere in the region of £100m for the 23-year-old. The France forward, who has also been interesting Arsenal, was an unused substitute in his side's Super Cup win over Aston Villa on Wednesday. Without him on Sunday, Ligue 1 champions PSG fell to defeat as Lens' Florian Thauvin scored the only goal in the 32nd minute when he turned in Matthieu Udol's mis-hit shot. Coupe de France winners Lens played most of the game, which they hosted, with 10 men after teenage defender Kyllian Antonio was shown a straight red card in the 39th minute for a studs-up challenge near the halfway line on Maghnes Akliouche. PSG also lost substitute Nuno Mendes to a late sending-off after he came off the bench to replace recent signing Lucas Digne.
