There is a start for everything. PSG would do a double blow by winning over Juventus Turin, Tuesday, September 6, for their entry into the Champions League, at the Parc des Princes. He would take the lead over his main rival for first place in the group, and for the first time in its history would offer himself the scalp of a Turin team which has never succeeded. To do this, you will have to perfectly negotiate the 90 minutes of the match to follow live on franceinfo.fr.
A weakened Juventus. If Paris aligns a constellation of stars and seems to have intelligently reinforced itself in midfield, Juventus is no more than the shadow of that which had failed twice in the final of the most prestigious of the European Cups, there a few years old. An aging workforce, plus a lot of high-sounding names and a demotion as a supporting role in its own championship, this team seems takeable for Paris.
Plethora of former Parisians on the Turin side : you will recognize Adrien Rabiot, former hope of the Parisian midfielder, Leandro Paredes, who still wore the blue and red colors last season, without forgetting Moïse Kean, on loan for a year at PSG in 2020… Angel di Maria, pushed on the bench at PSG, also joined the “Old Lady” in the offseason, but will not play the match due to injury.
The year or never for Paris? Once again, the capital club is, along with Manchester City, the big favorite for the final victory. Two clubs that have not yet registered their names on the list of winners of a competition that has recorded only one new winner in the last 25 years (Chelsea in 2012). “The Champions League is a very difficult competition.”acknowledged Kylian Mbappé at a press conference. “The big teams have gotten stronger, they have bought great players, world-class players. Many teams are ready and armed to win, so we will fight with our weapons”.
