This Wednesday, the Champions League offers us a real shock at the top between Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan at the Parc des Princes on the occasion of the 3rd day of the group stage. Held in check by Borussia Dortmund before the international break (0-0), the team led by Stefano Pioli intends to play a bad trick on the capital club, severely beaten by Newcastle (4-1) and determined to revive in the competition. A few hours before facing PSG, the Italian technician is aware that the number 1 danger for the Milanese is called Kylian Mbappé. To try to limit the influence of the French star at the forefront, the Lombard coach has a very specific plan in mind.

“We will have to be very compact, we can take risks either by waiting too long for them, or by trying to get them. What matters is to be compact, to do everything with the same ideas and the same conviction. If we can skip their first pressure, we can put them in trouble. Mbappé? He is a champion who always chooses the right moment, those who will work in his zone will have to be good at anticipating his movements. The more we have the opportunity to stop the balls that go into our zone, the more we will be able to limit our contribution,” unveiled the Transalpine at a press conference the day before. PSG has been warned!
