Pochettino has doubt in defense for the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino has not yet defined the team that will take the field on February 15, against Real Madrid, for the round of 16 of the Champions League. The coach’s biggest doubt at the moment is in the defense, between the Spaniard Sergio Ramos and the Frenchman Kimpembe, according to the AS newspaper.

The great performance of the former defender against Reims, with the right to a goal, last Sunday, brought up the discussion about who will occupy the spot in the decisive match.

According to former PSG player Jean-Marc Pilorget, Ramos’ leadership and experience could weigh in the Spaniard’s favor, given that it is a very difficult confrontation, in a competition in which the player is used to lifting trophies.

The newspaper emphasizes that the commander should not go to the field using a formation with three defenders. Therefore, the indecision rests on the two defenders. The presence and ownership of the Brazilian Marquinhos is indisputable.

Sergio Ramos arrived at the Parisian club earlier this season, after the end of his relationship with Real Madrid, but took a while to make his debut for the team. The defender had several problems with injuries and made his first game only at the end of November, last year.
