In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 at Old Trafford 3 weeks ago, PSG defeated the home team with a score of 2-0 thanks to goals from Kimpembe and Mbappe. Midfielder Paul Pogba also received a red card in this confrontation and will be absent in the second leg.
In addition to the French midfielder, coach Solskjaer will not have the services of Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Matic, Lingard, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Valencia, Phil Jones and Darmian in the upcoming match due to injury.
At the press conference before the return match, talking about the task of making a comeback against PSG, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still optimistic.
He shared: "This is never an impossible task. Of course it was more difficult than the first leg.
We have to open the scoring first and then anything can happen. The goals always change the game. If the team had the first goal, we believe more goals would come. The opponent may start to be hesitant, but the important thing is that we need to score first.
In addition, he also had a connection to past results: The results in the UEFA Champions League in recent years have been strange. Last year was the Juventus - Real Madrid match and we all missed the PSG - Barcelona match. There are many examples of teams that can change the situation.
We as a team have done this many times. The players played very well when they had to play away. The team has won on Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Man United have traveled to the French capital with 5 teenagers in the squad: Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong, James Garner and Brandon Williams. Coach Solskjaer said that the opportunity to enter the field could come to a few faces in this group.
The UEFA Champions League round 16 match between PSG and Man United will take place at Prince's Park (Paris, France) at 3:00 a.m. on March 7, broadcast on K+PM channel.
