Paris Saint-Germain is just two days away from the second leg of the Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich, and the Parisian club is confident.
During the last match against Lorient (2-2), some players remained on the bench to rest and return recovered for the match against Bayern Munich, because this type of match will demand more than one might think.
Let us remember that the Parisian squad will play without Achraf Hakimi, who is injured with a hamstring tear in his right leg, but the Moroccan will likely be replaced by Warren Zaire-Emery, a player who, according to Jerome Rothen, will not make anyone miss Hakimi's absence.
"In his role as right-back, he has been brilliant; he likes duels, so he is a good defender, and he is intelligent. So it's not a big deal to see Zaïre-Emery at right back, especially when you see Bayern's strategy, which will have to score goals," said Rothen.
Additionally, PSG is not the only one that will give it their all. Bayern Munich is also considered one of the great teams of the current era, so surely they will give us a great show.
But the Parisian club is very clear: they will contemplate nothing other than victory, so for days they have been preparing for the big day.
Although PSG only needs a draw to advance to the Champions League final, their coach, Luis Enrique, is always aiming to score at least one goal more than their rivals.
According to Le Parisien, the club's coach reminded everyone this Sunday morning that the plan is simple: go to Munich to win and nothing more.
Also, Luis Enrique made sure that his words did not overexcite his players, but rather calmly offered reassurance.
PSG's strategy remains focused on winning, as emphasized by coach Luis Enrique.
Warren Zaire-Emery is expected to replace Achraf Hakimi, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
PSG played to a 2-2 draw against Lorient, with some players rested for the upcoming semifinal.
