Paris Saint-Germain faces AC Milan for the 3rd day of the Champions League group stage this Wednesday. Here is all the essential information on this gala match.
With three points in two games, Paris Saint-Germain approaches its double confrontation against AC Milan as a turning point for the rest of its European campaign. The French champions would be well inspired to win the first round before heading to San Siro in two weeks. Luis Enrique is aware of this.
“It’s a turning point for everyone. For our group, who are happy with what we are doing and what playing in a competition like the Champions League entails. For us, it’s a great opportunity with these two matches against AC Milan, it almost feels like a knockout round more than two group matches. But I think we won’t know until the last day who will qualify in this group. For us, as for them, these are two really vital matches because it can condition the circumstances of the last two days depending on who wins. But we really focus on the matches one after the other. There, we are happy to play in our stadium with our supporters and we want to do things better than AC Milan to obtain a positive result. »
The PSG coach does not underestimate the current second in Serie A, even if Milan lacks a reference match this season after their losses against Inter and Juventus. “The real value of Milan is that of a great team, which is always used to major competitions. Throughout the season, all clubs in the world without exception have ups and downs, good matches and more complicated ones. I think AC Milan are doing well at the moment, in terms of what they do with the ball, their work on the pitch. It’s a team that works very well, with a great coach, Stefano Pioli. This is why we say that we are in the group of death: there are four teams that can finish first in this group. »
