Before its return match against Real Sociedad on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, PSG has a comfortable mattress. However, be careful of the disaster scenario…
Tuesday evening, at 9 p.m., Paris Saint-Germain will play one of the most important matches since the start of the season, in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League. A priori, the capital club protected itself from a cruel disappointment by winning (2-0) in the first leg, at the Parc des Princes on February 14.
However, in this competition, the Rouge et Bleu have already experienced several traumas. The most memorable being that of the comeback in Barcelona (6-1 defeat at Camp Nou after winning 4-0 at home in the first leg). Two years later, they suffered an identical fate, this time at the Parc des Princes, against Manchester United (3-1 defeat after a 2-0 first leg victory at Old Trafford).
A goal from Real Sociedad and the pressure will be on Paris…
Luis Fernandez also imagines a scenario of fear for PSG. “When the opposing team presses a lot and well, PSG’s ball recovery can be difficult. But it is true that Luis Enrique’s team has players capable of getting the ball. The ball was kept, also in the face of this pressure. But if they press high and quickly… They have to do it quickly, score and put pressure on PSG, that’s what has been the most difficult to bear historically in the Champions League.recalls the man who was recently made a knight of the Legion of Honor.
If the Ile-de-France club were to suffer another comeback in the Champions League tomorrow evening, it would probably plunge into a new crisis. Especially since his opponent is going through a very complicated period, having only won twice in his last ten championship matches.
