Paris Saint-Germain travels to Dortmund for a crucial match for its European future, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Usually, it is in spring that the sky becomes overcast during Paris Saint-Germain’s European journeys. But in this season of transition considered as Year 1 of the new era, Parisians will therefore be at stake for their future as the holidays approach. This Wednesday evening, Kylian Mbappé and his gang will not have to make any calculations: only a victory will ensure them qualification for the eighth without looking at what is happening elsewhere, in addition to offering them first place on a plateau, which would really look like a Christmas present, given the identity of the first and second.
If PSG don’t win this match in Dortmund’s electric arena, they will have to pray that there is no winner between Newcastle and Milan. A draw between these two clubs would even allow them a defeat to advance to the eighth. But if the Magpies win against the Rossoneri, it is the Europa League that the Parisians will return to next spring.
After the hiccups of Newcastle (1-4) and Milan (1-2), the French champions will have to play with a big personality. “If I thought this team didn’t have the character, I wouldn’t even come here and I would stay at home, announced captain Marquinhos, who made his return on Saturday against Nantes (2-1). We prepared in the best way, we had a good week of work. The coach insisted a lot on the details, he is very demanding of us. Everyone is ready to have a very good match, very excited. These are the kind of matches where everyone wants to be on the pitch and do the best for the team. We are all ready for a very big match and our destiny is in our hands. » The stage is set.
