PSG finds itself in an early predicament in the Champions League. Currently sitting at 2nd place in the group of death, Paris faces a crucial match against AC Milan.
The situation is already tense. Following the recent defeat to Newcastle, PSG is now in 2nd place. In theory, the top two teams in the group advance, but with AC Milan trailing closely in 3rd place, just one point behind, the pressure is on. PSG has 4 points, while Milan has 3.
A loss for PSG in this match could spell disaster, especially if Dortmund manages to secure a win against Newcastle at the same time. This group of death promises to be a fiercely contested battleground, and PSG must aim to widen the gap in the standings with a win at Parc des Princes this Wednesday.
Luis Enrique, PSG’s coach, is well aware of the significance of this match, stating, « These two matches against AC Milan are a turning point for everyone. Until the last matchday, we won’t know who the qualifiers are. This group is known as the group of death because all four teams have a chance to advance. »
« The pressure will be on both sides of the pitch. It’s a complicated match. We knew we were going to face a team that was returning to the Champions League (Newcastle). We made mistakes, and we suffered from them. The key difference in the Champions League is that you cannot afford to make errors. We need to minimize our mistakes, and tomorrow, it should be a match where we make none. We need to attack; our style is to be on the offensive and try to hurt Milan. »
The PSG is aware that it needs a strong performance to secure the victory and keep their position in this competitive group.
