Samir Nasri has shared his prediction for Tuesday’s long-awaited match between PSG and Newcastle.
On the occasion of the 4e day of the Champions League, PSG will cross swords with Newcastle on Tuesday evening. A crucial meeting with a view to qualifying for the 8th and which the French champions are approaching cautiously. The heavy defeat in the first leg at Saint-James Park is still fresh in our minds.
“PSG will win comfortably”
Paris can expect great adversity, but there are those who see the Ile-de-France residents winning easily against the Magpies. This is the case, among others, of Samir Nasri. Speaking for Canal+ on Saturday evening, he said: “I see a victory for Paris and a comfortable one at that. But that’s just my opinion “.
Called to elaborate, the former French international indicated: “From what I saw offensively, Paris can really hurt them. Especially when we look at yesterday’s match (editor’s note, PSG – Monaco). Dembelé and Mbappé can really hurt Trippier and Livramento.”
Nasri fears Newcastle’s pressure
Nasri then concluded by noting that “it is at the level of intensity that this will play out”. Everything will depend on the ability of “Newcastle to replicate this kind of pressing that they were able to do at home, knowing that PSG concedes a lot of chances”.
