Euskaraz irakurri: Reala prest dago Paris Saint-Germain indartsuari aurre egiteko, Txapeldunen Ligako final zortzirenetan

The Real society will look for this Wednesday, in the Princes Park in Parisbefore him Paris Saint-Germaina favorable result in the Champions League round of 16 first leg of the 2023-24 season. Imanol’s men face the match with maximum ambition and great enthusiasmand they are going to meet an opponent who is in a good moment of play, and who their coach, Luis Enrique, has given a more combative character than he showed until this season. The match begins at 9:00 p.m., and hundreds of Real fans will be in the stadium of the French capital.

In this context, Real reaches the round of 16 without having known defeat in this Champions League, while Paris Saint-Germain barely managed to qualify from the group stage. The Gipuzkoa team, however, has several players missing, while its rival, who seems to have found a winning path, is showing a confidence that is growing because the infirmary is almost deserted.

As in 2004, Real faces a rival from the French League in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Then, in the 2003-04 season, just 20 years ago, those then coached by Raynald Denoueix could not beat Olympique Lyon; But now, taking into account the excellent level achieved by the Basque team in the group stage and that the second leg will be played in San Sebastián, it is evident that Real has serious options.

Álvaro Odriozola, Aihen Muñoz, Aritz Elustondo, Carlos Fernández, Sheraldo Becker and Kieran Tierney, with injuries of varying severity and severity, are in dry dock, making it difficult for Imanol to line up in the decisive stretch of the year. The positive note comes from captain Mikel Oyarzabal, who came to this match with serious doubts after the blow to his knee two weeks ago against Girona, but who, finally, has gotten on the plane with the rest of the team. If Oyarzabal could take the field, the Txuri-Urdin coach would be in a position to present his gala eleven to face the Parisian team led by Luis Enrique.

A rival in full flow

Paris Saint-Germain is on a streak of results, and leads the French League with an iron fist. Real’s rival awaits its European takeoff, after years of continental failures, and does so with a more combative spirit, a recipe with which he intends to break the individualism of previous years. Even the team’s big star, French attacker Kylian Mbappé, has assumed that, for the good of the team, he had to play up front and not on the left, his favorite position.

With this approach, Paris Saint-Germain has achieved a solid teamwho have not known defeat since November, and who, in 2024, have scored 27 goals in eight games, and have only conceded six.

Luis Enrique, who, after barely getting through the group stage of the Champions League, promised that his team would be better in February, has found a scheme that, although it has not yet shined in the game, has become more solid. This strength is accompanied by the dynamite of a trident that the Asturian coach has known how to model, with Mbappé as a center forward, accompanied by Ousmane Dembelé who, on the right, is experiencing his best days in Paris, and a Bradley Bracola who, At 21 years old, he has made his way into an eleven full of stars.

The South Korean Lee Kang-in, who returned from the Asia Cup, just as the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi did from the Africa Cup, are at the coach’s disposal, who only has the absences of the central defenders Milan Skriniar and Presnel Kimpembe. The Portuguese Danilo Pereira has proven to be a good companion for the Brazilian Marquinhos in that position. The coach’s main doubt appears in the center of the field, where the Portuguese Vitinha and the Uruguayan Manuel Ugarte appear with more options to start the game than the Spanish Fabian Ruiz, while the young Warren Zaïre-Emery remains untouchable.

Probable lineups

Paris Saint-Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, Hernandez; Zaïre-Emery, Ugarte or Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha; Dembelé, Mbappé, Bracola.
