The European champion tripped. Against all expectations, Paris Saint-Germain lost to Botafogo during its second exit in the club World Cup, questioning a qualification which seemed to be acquired. This Monday evening in Seattle Monday, facing already almost eliminated Sounders, Luis Enrique's men no longer have the right to make mistakes. A pride is expected to validate the ticket for the eighths and erase this surprising course accident.
Paris, the pride is expected
The defeat against the Brazilian club (1-0) left traces, less by the score than by the way. Unrecognizable and lacking in “biting”, PSG only framed two shots throughout the game, ending a series of 19 consecutive games with at least one goal. A misstep that made a stain for the recent winner of the Champions League. This last group match is therefore the perfect opportunity to “set the record straight”. Luis Enrique awaits a strong response from his executives to prove that this failure was only a simple anomaly in an almost perfect season.
Luis Enrique awaits a reaction from his team.
Validate the ticket and think of Messi?
The accounting issue is simple: a victory at Seattle and PSG will be in the round of 16. Beaten by Botafogo, Parisians can no longer hope to finish in first place in the group, but they must imperatively ensure the second to continue the American adventure. A second place which, irony, could offer them electric and highly anticipated reunion with a certain Lionel Messi from the next round, if Inter Miami were to win its own group. A scenario that adds pepper to this meeting.
Seattle, a last baroud honor at home
For Seattle Sounders, the mission has become almost impossible. With zero point on the clock and a series of four consecutive defeats, including three at home (a first since 2011), morale is at the lowest. Faced with the revanchard European champion, the goal will be above all to save the honor in front of its audience and finish the tournament on a positive note. An ideal opponent on paper for a PSG which must imperatively reassure itself.
