A match that promises to be special for the French defender of the German club Loïc Badé. The French international comes from the Paris region (born in 2005 in Sevres). Present at the pre-match press conference, the 25-year-old did not fail to send strong words to the Ile-de-France club and also took the opportunity to discuss his link with the Parisian team.
“ I don't know if it's a dream match, but it's a great pleasure to play against this team which is, for me, the best team in Europe and the world, compared to what they showed last season, which was exceptional,” he told journalists.
Before continuing: “ For me, who grew up in the Paris region, it's a pleasure but I have never been a supporter of PSG, or any team for that matter. I didn't watch a lot of football when I was young. It remains Paris, the city where I grew up, it is an important match for me. »
Badé holder?
Barring any big surprises in the German ranks, Loic Badé should start the game to face Paris Saint-Germain. The French defender has played 8 matches in all competitions this season, including 7 as a starter.
Here is the probable 11 for Bayer Leverkusen: Flekken – Andrich, Badé, Tapsoba – Aleix Garcia, Fernandez – Arthur, Maza, Grimaldo, Poku – Kofane.
