Prediction: 2-1
Atletico Madrid
Parc des Princes will be the centre of attention when PSG and Atletico Madrid square off against each other in the Champions League round 4. Les Parisiens are eyeing their second win of the process, but Wednesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Luis Enrique’s troops. Talented midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lens, while all Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos remain on the treatment table.
Los Rojiblancos, meanwhile, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Benfica and Lille, but given PSG’s fine form in all competitions, we predict that Diego Simeone’s troops are going to return to Madrid empty-handed. The likes of Rodrigo de Paul, Connor Gallagher, and Alexander Sorloth are all set to return to Atletico’s starting XI after the trio came off the bench in a 2-0 win over Las Palmas.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
