Real Sociedad – PSG: Official Starting Lineups

PSG faces Real Sociedad in the Champions League: here are the starting lineups for the match.

For this encounter, 39-year-old Michael Oliver has been appointed as the referee. He brings vast experience, having officiated in 396 high-level matches in the Premier League (366) and the Champions League (30). He will be assisted by Stuart Burt and Daniel Cook, with Robert Jones as the fourth official. Video assistance will be provided by David Coote and Stuart Attwell.

The stakes for PSG are clear: not to lose, especially not by 2-0. With a two-goal lead, PSG could afford a 1-0 defeat, but nothing more. In case of a draw, it will go to extra time and penalties. Any other outcome would see PSG through to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Despite a slight advantage with a 2-0 lead from the first leg, PSG must be cautious. The statistics are not in their favor, with Opta giving Real Sociedad a 38% chance of winning, compared to 35% for PSG. A draw is also considered at 26%. However, even with a 1-0 defeat, PSG would still qualify.

The match between Real Sociedad and PSG will be broadcast live in its entirety starting at 9 p.m. on Canal+ Foot and RMC Sport 1, on Tuesday, March 5th.
