Six days before its first league match against Le Havre, Paris is undergoing a final preparatory test. The French champions are taking on Leipzig, whose former player Xavi Simons is facing off. Luis Enrique is expecting his troops to step up their game.
PSG must react
For their first friendly match, and despite a two-goal lead secured from the start of the game, the Parisians were unable to dominate Sturm Graz (2-2). There were mitigating circumstances, but there will be fewer this Saturday. With a competitive team, and in which the two recruits Joao Neves and William Pacho should feature, PSG must reassure itself.
Asensio and his teammates know what they have to do. A victory would be welcome before getting down to business. That said, it is not necessarily the most important thing. The main thing is to ensure that the players continue to progress physically, while finding their bearings from last season. That is what is at stake in this friendly clash against RBL.
