Paris Saint-Germain faces Real Sociedad in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It has become a habit: Paris Saint-Germain immerses itself in the grandiose atmosphere of the C1 on Valentine’s Day. Like every year, the capital club approaches its most important meeting of the season with maximum pressure. However, on the green rectangle, all the lights appear green, unlike previous seasons. Carried by collective coherence, PSG seems to be gaining strength. And the draw spared him compared to past years.
There will be no question of puffing out your chest before this first round. This is the message that the Spaniard Fabian Ruiz wanted to convey. “ I know this team very well, we know it is a very great team, they have high quality players. They are very well organized, they press very hard, they work hard collectively. They will look us straight in the eye and they like having the ball as much as counter-pressing, which they do very well. »
“ We have to take the ball from them as soon as possible, which is difficult, not losing it too, that’s also difficult, Luis Enrique said. Real Sociedad is an opponent who doesn’t give you the ball and when he’s in the pressure, he’s very aggressive. La Real has a great level. And, to the first question, I am not going to answer it. No matter what I say, the favorite must demonstrate it on the field. ” The tone is set.
