The praise and rave comments are still pouring in, two days after the Champions League semi-final first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich (5-4). At the end of a match marked by total football, the public and observers are asking for more. Some are also sure that the show will be at least as good next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena.
The return match is indeed awaited with great impatience. In the post-match press conference, Luis Enrique even indulged in an extremely rare (for him) confession, evoking the discussion he had with his assistants on Tuesday evening. The Parisian coach thus indicated that according to him and his men, they would have to score at least three goals in Munich to hope to validate their ticket to the final.
A way of announcing that there would still be some great football to enjoy. This optimism was fully shared by Olivier Rouyer. Former French international, the columnist for the L’Équipe channel gave his opinion on Wednesday. “I completely agree with (Luis Enrique). We are going to have this same madness, this same availability, this same desire. »
Bayern-PSG, total football back?
And the observer continues. “What they demonstrated (Tuesday) evening, the fact of wanting to systematically cause chaos to the opponent, you will find him next week. It’s mandatory. Because these matches require the players to push themselves to the limit. If it weighs heavily emotionally, on Wednesday it will be forgotten and we will leave again, they will seek the same emotions (…). For me, there is no problem. »
While Atlético de Madrid and Arsenal were content with a small draw in their semi-final first leg (1-1), it is once again towards the clash between Bayern Munich and PSG that the majority of eyes will be turned in less than a week.
