PSG is preparing to face AC Milan in a double confrontation which promises to be decisive for the Parisians. With only three points on the clock in this “group of death” of the Champions League, each match is crucial to hope for qualification in the round of 16.
After a defeat against Newcastle (4-1) and a victory against Borussia Dortmund (2-0), PSG is already playing for its European future against AC Milan. The Rossoneri arrive in Paris with the firm intention of picking up points after their mixed start with two draws against Newcastle and Dortmund.
PSG, currently second in their group behind Newcastle, must absolutely avoid another misstep against AC Milan. The Milanese, who stumbled against Juventus Turin in their last match, are also looking for points to hope to qualify.
This double confrontation is considered a real turning point in this tough group. The teams are very competitive, notably Borussia Dortmund which has a string of victories in the Bundesliga. Each match will therefore be “almost a direct elimination”, according to Parisian coach Luis Enrique.
Despite the pressure, PSG is counting on its strengths to make the difference. Kylian Mbappé, who regains confidence with convincing performances, will be one of the keys to Parisian success. In addition, coach Luis Enrique will be able to count on a bench reinforced by the good performances of Spanish players Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler during the last Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg.
On the AC Milan side, history is also in favor of the Milanese who have already eliminated PSG in the semi-final of the Champions League in 1994-1995. The Rossoneri hope to build on this past experience to gain the upper hand over the Parisians.
Everything is therefore in place for an intense and decisive double confrontation between PSG and AC Milan. Both teams will have to give their best to hope to qualify for the round of 16. The suspense is at its height and the supporters are impatiently awaiting these matches which could mark the European future of the Parisians.
