A priori, there is no reason for this to change. A week after its narrow victory (1-0) against Leipzig, where it offered a spectacle bordering on embarrassing and embarrassing, PSG gets back in the saddle and hopes to win the cup at Old Trafford, against Manchester United.
So there is no sign, especially not the exit against Bordeaux for example (2-2), Saturday, which shows that PSG is better or can give more and yet, we do not know. Because football remains totally irrational, so after all, the capital club still has all its chances, from draw to success, knowing that the first option would not be totally a good result (Paris will then depend on others for its qualification) .
Yes, it is still possible for this game usually upside down and that the pandemic has made even more uncertain, with surprising results everywhere even if the PSG is the only cador to suffer from an accounting point of view in the Champions League .
It is also possible because, even lame, PSG remains capable of dazzling and has already done so, here, by winning in February 2019 (2-0) without Neymar or Edinson Cavani. Paris will also have the advantage of starting knowing the score of Leipzig, who travels to Istanbul two hours earlier. Right now, we have to hang on to the slightest hope, even if it’s more branches.
Paris knows how to climb, it proved it by giving crazy emotions in August, during the Final 8. It must now be careful of the fall while its European destiny – with 6 points in four games – has not yet changed but that he faces the hardest, moving to the most relieved opponent of the group, at the head of it for the moment.
“We want to attack, defend well against a very good team. We want to win the match and the group, ”announces Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the coach of the Red Devils, who won twice at the Parc. Thomas Tuchel’s reply was quick, even if it meant making the task bigger, a classic for coaches. “We arrive at Old Trafford to win, warns the Parisian coach. It is one of the biggest challenges in the world. It will be necessary to be free and disciplined, to wage a great fight to overcome this obstacle. “Free and disciplined, his motto is already drawing a nice path.
