The second leg of Paris Saint-Germain’s quarterfinal battle against Borussia Dortmund is quickly approaching. The French capital team is motivated to reverse the tide in their favor and recover from last week’s 1-0 loss in the first leg.
Dortmund, however, will do every effort to maintain their lead and guarantee their passage to the London-based Wembley Stadium for the Champions League final. The German team is aware that they must play strong defense, but they aren’t going overboard in that regard.
Their defense is aware of Kylian Mbappé’s threat, according to seasoned defender Mats Hummels. But they don’t just have their eyes on him.
Hummels told reporters, “Of course, knowing who you’re up against makes a difference” (h/t Sport.fr). Particularly when facing Mbappé, who can sprint quickly behind. However, I don’t think that’s the most vital thing to know in advance. As a team, we are the only ones who can stop him.
“Defending against him alone is impossible due to his unparalleled speed.” He is, however, only one aspect of the larger picture; there are other others that require our attention. However, we have to be alert for ninety minutes.
Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé will be out on the wings for PSG in the Parisian attack. Gonçalo Ramos is expected to start at No. 9 for the French giants, who depend on the Portugal international to score goals.
