PSG has secured passage to the Champions League round of 16, but they need a win in the final match of Group H to secure first place. The visit to Juventus is challenging, but the Parisian team showcased their offensive power: Kylian Mbappe scored the partial 1-0.
Around the 13th minute of the match at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack from right to left. Lionel Messi received the ball, started his run diagonally, surpassing the close marking of Manuel Locatelli, and passed it to 'Kiki'.
Mbappe, with a brilliant move, squeezed the ball between the legs of Federico Gatti, a defender who tried to redeem himself by pulling Mbappe's shirt to stop him. Kylian, with more strength, came out successful and, seconds later, evaded Locatelli's tackle, setting himself up to shoot with his right foot and placing the ball next to the left post of Wojciech Szczesny.
PSG vs. JUVENTUS PREVIEW
The 'Bianconeri' have reached the final match of the Champions League in an unusual situation: they need to win in order to qualify for the Europa League. The team led by Massimiliano Allegri said goodbye to the race for the 'Orejona' earlier than expected and even at risk of being left without continental competitions until the end of the campaign.
In addition, Juventus is going through a crisis in the squad due to the number of absences. Top scorer Dusan Vlahovic has a groin injury. Meanwhile, Weston McKennie has muscle discomfort. Marley Ake, Leandro Paredes, Angel Di Maria, Gleison Bremer, Mattia De Sciglio, Federico Chiesa, Samuel Iling-Junior, and Kaio Jorge are the exclusions.
On the other hand, PSG wants to finish this stage at the top of the group and take advantage of the good form of their star players. However, due to accumulated yellow cards, Neymar will not accompany Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in the attack. That place should be reserved for Pablo Sarabia, who, along with Marco Verratti, will be the new additions.
