Despite their defeat Tuesday in Aston Villa (2-3, 5-4 cumulative), PSG players will play the Champions League semi-finals, against Arsenal or Real Madrid. By the first leg in two weeks, the Parisians will have a well -filled calendar but that should not be too many problems.
Two games at the Parc des Princes and a trip to Nantes: here is what awaits Paris Saint-Germain before its semi-final go to the Champions League. Qualified in the last square of the largest European competition despite their defeat at Aston Villa Tuesday (2-3, 5-4 cumulative), Parisians will now find Ligue 1 for three meetings in six days.
If the players of Luis Enrique had had a scheduled calendar to allow them to focus exclusively on their quarter-final of the Champions League against Aston Villa, this time they have several meetings by their trip to the Emirates Stadium d'Arsenal or to the Bernabeu of Real Madrid. They will first receive Le Havre on Saturday (5 p.m.) and then go to Nantes on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.) where they will play their match of the 29th day, initially planned between their two confrontations (April 13) against the Villans. Finally, they will face Nice at the Parc des Princes on Friday April 25 (8:45 p.m.), four or five days before the semi-final go to the Champions League (April 29 or 30).
PSG already champion
A program loaded certainly, but meetings far from being major for PSG … already crowned champion of France for the 13th time since his victory in Angers (1-0) on April 5 during the 28th day. This leaves the leisure to Luis Enrique to run his workforce, in particular to avoid any injuries of his executives. If the Spanish technician said he wanted to finish the unbeaten championship season, this objective seems to be achievable even with a reworked team, against those who currently point to the 16th, 13th and 7th place in the ranking.
This is also not the first time that his team has to deal with a calendar loaded this year. Between February 23 and March 16, his players had played seven games, including the classic against Marseille, the French Cup and the double confrontation against Liverpool in the knockout stages of the Champions League. “We have all the players available, so that means that I can choose from everyone and they are all ready,” said Luis Enrique. PSG had lost only one meeting: the outward journey against Liverpool (0-1), before overthrowing the situation a few days later (1-0, 4 Tab 1).
The PSG calendar before its semi-final go:
- PSG-Le Havre, April 19 in Ligue 1
- Nantes-PSG, April 22 in Ligue 1
- PSG-Nice, April 25 in Ligue 1
