It’s the biggest challenge of the season. AS Saint-Étienne, undefeated for four games (3 wins and 1 draw), travels to the lawn of the Parc des Princes this Saturday to face PSG on the occasion of the 26th day of Ligue 1. Facing the leader of the championship and its armada: Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, the mission looks almost impossible. To the point of saying that it’s a game apart? That we can’t count it in the maintenance operation? “Doesn’t look like there are 39 points left in play if this game didn’t also count for retention replies Pascal Dupraz. There are many points at stake. We are not favored by predictions but we have the merit of being there and of existing. This shows that we are not relegated yet since it is a match against the first in Ligue 1 “.
Soon 10 years of scarcity against PSG
The Greens have not won against PSG for almost 10 years in the league. The last time was the November 27, 2012 at the Parc des Princes in the first months of the arrival of the Qataris. Romain Hamouma is the only Saint-Etienne, present in the workforce at the time, to still be there: “I never went to Paris to take pictures. It’s sure that it’s a great team with fantastic players but we go there to get a result and not to watch them“.
“You have to give the version of yourself abounds Pascal Dupraz. PSG may not be having a good day too. Since the dawn of time there have been surprising results and by the end of the championship there will still be more, otherwise the tipsters would not earn much money“.
The Greens with their captain, Paris without Verratti
Hit in the ankle against Strasbourg, Wahbi Khazri is in the group that will travel to the capital this Saturday. He could start on the bench. For its part, PSG will have to do without Marco Verratti. The midfielder is suspended. Sergio Ramos and Leandro Paredes are out.
