João Neves will be absent from the Paris Saint-Germain group for the next crucial match against Olympique de Marseille. The Portuguese midfielder suffers from an injury to the left ischio-jamber, contracted during the match against Atalanta Bergame, and should remain under care until next week, as confirmed by the club by press release. This absence is in addition to those of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Lucas Beraldo, leaving the PSG with a composition potentially weakened for this Classic. The Parisian team will go to the Orange Vélodrome without these important players, which represents an additional challenge for coach Luis Enrique.
The Atalanta Bergame, although widely beaten 4-0 on the first day of the Champions League, did not want to openly criticize the performance of the PSG. Italian coach Ivan Juric recognized the superiority of the Parisian club, pointing to a significant level difference between the two teams. For his part, Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, was pleased with the match against Atalanta, welcoming the intense pace, the many opportunities to score and the positive reaction of the fans. He stressed the difficulty of overcoming the pressure of the Italian team, while recognizing the merit of the Parisian victory.
For Luis Enrique, the victory against Atalanta is an encouraging sign of the work accomplished and the progress of the game. He insists on the importance of continuously improving each game phase, relying on the quality of the players to continue developing a clear and progressive game style. The coach expressed his satisfaction at seeing the game ideas implemented and appreciated by fans, stressing that this evening was a source of pleasure for all. The objective remains to continue this positive dynamic and to refine the game for future challenges.
