In the Paris locker room, we are convinced that we can overcome Real Madrid without too many problems. In any case, this is what the Spanish press is saying on Wednesday.
The big day is coming. In just under a week, PSG will host Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes. A meeting for which it is difficult to designate a real favorite, since the two teams remain on fairly similar dynamics in their respective championships. With a player who will be watched very closely for the reasons we all know: Kylian Mbappé.
But if we rely on information fromABC, the PSG players would be rather confident. Very confident even. Since the draw, they are convinced that they will easily overcome the Merengues. “We’re going to break them”, we heard in the Ile-de-France locker room on the day of the draw. The Parisians would have celebrated with scenes of joy as we see when a little thumb falls on a big club in the cup… but with the certainty of winning. The media adds that Lionel Messi was even very happy to come across the sworn enemy of his former club.
But Ramos wouldn’t have liked it…
A rather cheerful and joyful atmosphere in the Parisian locker room therefore, and a confidence that has still not changed, about two months after this draw. Mauricio Pochettino’s troops are therefore still confident of facing a much inferior rival. The newspaper writes all the same that Sergio Ramos was surprised at the reaction of his teammates, he who also did not want to fall against the club whose captain’s armband he wore for so long.
Generally, the Parisians would be convinced that this year is the right one in the Champions League, with Lionel Messi determined to win his fifth cup with big ears and thus equalize Cristiano Ronaldo. See you on Tuesday then, but there is no doubt that this information is likely to cause a lot of talk on the other side of the Pyrenees…
