The endless wait finally ends this Wednesday evening. Paris Saint-Germain welcomes Real Sociedad to the Parc des Princes in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. If the draw was more lenient for the Parisians than usual, Luis Enrique’s troops should not minimize this European shock. Moreover, Parisian players must already be careful this Wednesday evening, if they want to maximize their chances of qualifying for the return match in the Basque Country, which will take place on March 5. Indeed, three major players risk suspension for the return phase if they were to receive a yellow card this evening.
Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Ugarte will have to behave and avoid stupid mistakes in order to be present at the Anoeta stadium. Milan Skriniar is also concerned, but being still injured and in rehabilitation, he is absent from the group this Wednesday evening. On the Basque side, Igor Zubeldia and Mikel Merino are also under threat of suspension. Those involved in this meeting will have to be wary of the calls to order from the Italian referee, Mr. Marco Guida, the man with many controversies in Italy who will not give in if the tension of this match is felt. He has 7 small appearances in the Champions League, all of which have been in the group stage so far.
