This is the final sprint for Paris Saint-Germain. And yet, the pace slows down for the capital's club. Accustomed to playing twice a week, the Luis Enrique team has a more lenient calendar for this end of the season.
After the reception of Auxerre on Saturday, for the 34th day of Ligue 1, PSG will be able to calmly project itself to the final of the Coupe de France, against Reims on May 24. And then it will be time to focus 100% on this Champions League final against Inter Milan, May 31 in Münich.
“We have 3 games left. We will try to manage all of this in the best way in order to arrive at the two finals with the majority, even the entire, of players in their best possible version ”said Luis Enrique this Friday at a press conference on Friday.
After giving rest to many executives last weekend in Montpellier, the Parisian coach will be able to manage the playing times of his players thinking of the upcoming finals. Already champion, PSG has no big stake on Saturday against Auxerre, apart from the desire to make public of the Parc des Princes, and the imperative to stay in legs for the future.
Inter-PSG, it is becoming clearer for Lautaro Martinez
For Inter, the calendar is the same (a match this weekend, a match the next one). But the big difference is that the Nerazzurri are still in full fight for the title in Serie A.
Simone Inzaghi should therefore align her best possible team on Sunday for the shock against Lazio. The injuries of the moment (Pavard, Mkhitaryan and Frattesi) resumed training in the middle of the week and could be in the group. As for Captain Lautaro Martinez, he recovered from his thigh injury. Rather, the Italian press is waiting for her return for the meeting against Com co -day during the 38th day.
