The next few days will be very important for Paris Saint-Germain. This Wednesday, the capital club faces Borussia Dortmund in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League.
An exciting and thrilling double confrontation that could make the Red and blue in another dimension. Luis Enrique’s men have the opportunity to mark the history of the club and French football in the coming weeks.
But for that, they will first have to dismiss the German club in the semi-final. E, on the sidelines of the D1 Arkema Trophies ceremony this Monday in Paris, the former president of Olympique Lyonnais Jean-Michel Aulas sent a strong message to Parisians.
“Is this a good year for Paris? Yes, I think so, trying to think about the motivations. Certainly, Kylian Mbappé will leave. But who more than him wants to win it with his club which has welcomed him for years? There are very good players, including one who comes from Lyon who is very strong at the moment (Bradley Barcola), and a dynamic of victories, a very important offensive dynamic. And a coach (Luis Enrique) that I have personally appreciated for years, who gives this Paris Saint-Germain a new ambition,” he said in comments reported by RMC Sport.
Before continuing: “I honestly think it’s a good year. “I saw a rival which was Manchester City, who remained on the floor against Madrid. There you have it, these are the reasons that lead me to think that it is possible. And if I have the opportunity to do so, I will go to Dortmund and see in the final at Wembley how things can go. »
Keep the same mindset
Paris Saint-Germain will compete in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the third time in 5 years (2020, 2021 and 2024). The capital club has the opportunity to play in a new Champions League final after the one lost to Bayern Munich in Lisbon in 2020.
But to hope to reach this stage of the competition again, Luis Enrique’s players will have to pull out all the stops against Jadon Sancho’s partners. Kylian Mbappé’s teammates will have to keep the same state of mind and put the same ingredients as during the meetings against FC Barcelona.
