Luis Enrique’s men know that a misstep could be detrimental to them. With a defeat or even a draw in Germany, the Parisians risk losing control of their destiny in the competition. In the event of such poor performances, their future would then depend on the results between Newcastle United and AC Milan.
Marquinhos displays confidence and determination
However, despite the stakes, Marquinhos refuses to let the slightest doubt show. At the press conference before the match, which took place this Tuesday, he said: “ Of course, if I thought this team didn’t have the necessary character, I would have stayed at home. We had a good week of training, we prepared well (…) All teams, it is normal, encounter difficulties when they play against us at the Parc des Princes. Away we made mistakes that we don’t make at home. There is pressure from opposing fans and sometimes we made mistakes .”
As a reminder, PSG’s away statistics this year do not necessarily bode well for a bright future for the Parisian club, which has already conceded two defeats this season away from home, first to Newcastle (1-4), then to Milan (1-2).
See you tomorrow for this shock at the summit.
