After signing his most accomplished performance in Ligue 1 this season, on Saturday, against Stade Rennais (5-0), the
Paris Saint-Germain returns to the European scene with a trip to San Mamés to challenge Athletic Bilbao this Wednesday (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Runner-up to Arsenal in the standings of the regular phase of the Champions League before this 5th day, the reigning champion has the opportunity to secure his place in the top 8, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16 of the competition.
A match in the ropes for Luis Enrique’s men on paper, despite the bubbling atmosphere of the Basque enclosure. Paris is gaining momentum and this collective progress should be confirmed in Spain this Wednesday evening with an eleven which looks more and more like the typical team which won everything last season. Ousmane Dembélé could take advantage of this to add to the counter after his timid return. Opposite, Bilbao, which has shown its limits this season against the big guys, will have to have a perfect plan to hope to set a trap for this PSG.
The expected compositions
Bilbao :Simon; Areso, Vivian, Lekue, Berchiche; Ruiz de Galarreta, Jauregizar; Berenguer, Sancet, N Williams; Guruzeta.
PSG : Safonov; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Mayulu, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia.
Where to watch the match?
This Champions League match between Athletic Bilbao and Paris Saint-Germain will be broadcast this Wednesday on Canal +, from 9 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the group’s streaming platform, MyCanal.
