Defalco made his PSG debut in a 0–0 draw against his future club Laval on 27 December 1983.[8] He scored his first and only goal for the Parisians in a 3–1 victory against Saint-Étienne on 11 February 1984.[9] On 14 March 1984, Defalco played his final match for PSG, a 2–1 defeat to Sochaux.[8] He transferred to Laval in the summer of 1984, after a "disappointing" season in the capital of France.[7]
