Paris St. Germain

  • The last three results: 1: 0 vs. Girondins Bordeaux, 3-0 vs. FC Villefranche, 1: 2 Vs. Olympique Lyon

The result was a deserved 2-1 victory for Olympique – and the first big mistake of the Parisians.

In the Champions League, on the other hand, another wind blows. There, PSG had already suffered a few months earlier, directly against Liverpool on Matchday 1. The Reds defeated the Tuchel Elf after racy 90 minutes with 2: 3, because the back team of the French was not able to keep the cream attack Liverpool in check.

The false start put PSG in one of the hardest CL groups this season under pressure, but thanks to the successful revenge in the second leg against Liverpool (2: 1) was the eighth-final ticket can be booked.

In the run-up to the duel with United, PSG did as thought. Two games have been contested by the Paris since the defeat against Lyon, both demanded a lot from the team: Against the third division Villefranche the towering favorite needed the extra time to move into the Cup quarter-final, against Griondins Bordeaux they won “just” 1: 0. Mixed achievements, which are likely to have to do with a momentous failure: Superstar Neymar is missing since the end of January due to a metatarsal failure.

Possible lineup Paris St. Germain

Coach Tuchel not only has to replace his absolute top star, he also has to cope with the probable failures of striker Cavani and defender Meunier. How he plans to compensate for these personnel setbacks will have a decisive influence on the outcome of the series. The following formation seems conceivable:
