Opposed to Juventus Turin this Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Serie A, AC Milan is entering a crucial week. The Rossoneri, led by their French internationals, are expected on Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Paris for the third day of the Champions League. After two 0-0 draws during the first two days – against Newcastle then Dortmund – the Milanese club will have no room for error against PSG, also under pressure following the slap received on the Magpies pitch ( 1-4) three weeks ago.
Obviously, this PSG-Milan clash will take on a very French accent. Mbappé, Kolo Muani, Dembélé and Lucas Hernandez on one side, his brother Theo, Mike Maignan and Olivier Giroud on the other. Reunited as the French team this week, the Tricolores must have exchanged a few words about this upcoming duel, approached with caution by Giroud. Interviewed on Téléfoot on TF1 this Sunday, the top scorer in the history of the Blues (54 goals) knows the importance of this meeting even if it puts things into perspective. “This PSG – AC Milan is not THE decisive match but we have to try to take what we can take. Don’t lose yet, and if we have the opportunity to win this match… we won’t be shy!” confided the Milan striker.
Without going crazy, the former Arsenal player expects an open game. “We will see how the match goes. “Catenaccio” doesn’t look like us, it’s not the style of the coach (Stefano Pioli),” he smiles. We understand, Milan will travel to the Parc de Princes with humility but also with the ambition to make a big move with a view to qualifying for the round of 16. PSG has been warned.
