Paris Saint-Germain will be aiming to record their fifth win in the league stage of the 2025-26 Champions League when they head to San Mames on Wednesday to tackle Athletic Bilbao.
The reigning European champions will play in the competition they love most, and for this game coach Luis Enrique will field his best players because the team's main objective is to win this competition again.
PSG are the main focus in the Champions League this season, netting 19 times, but Enrique will certainly be looking to address defensive issues in the coming months, as they could cost them dearly in the later stages of the tournament.
PSG are currently second in France, not a normal position, but it will only be a matter of time before the team moves into first place. Last weekend they won 5-0 in a game where Luis Enrique managed his players with this match in mind, and most importantly, his team didn't concede any goals.
Hakimi is out due to injury and Lucas Hernandez is suspended.
Athletic Bilbao is having a more complicated season this year compared to last year because several important players have been sidelined due to injury. In their last league game, despite a great victory, they suffered another injury to a key player, Laporte.
In the Champions League, Athletic has only one win against the modest Qarabag and a draw against Slavia Praha, earning points against two weak teams. Currently, they are outside the qualifying places and are likely to finish in that position.
Athletic will enter this match off the back of a morale-boosting result, though, beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 on Saturday, with Alex Berenguer netting the only goal of the contest late on.
Aitor Paredes is suspended. Robert Navarro, Benat Prados, Aymeric Laporte, Unai Egiluz, Maroan Sannadi, and Inaki Williams are out injured.
These are several important absences for the home team, and in this competition against very strong teams, the team is weakened. Athletic's squad is shorter due to injuries, and the coach can't manage his players as he'd like. PSG's players enjoy playing in this competition, and they are more motivated and confident. Bilbao will have a lot of trouble stopping the European champions and will lose this game because they are weaker.
巴黎圣日耳曼将于周三前往圣梅斯与毕尔巴鄂竞技比赛,目标是在2025-26赛季欧冠联赛阶段取得他们的第五场胜利。
卫冕欧洲冠军将参加他们最喜欢的比赛,主教练路易斯·恩里克将在这场比赛中派出他最好的球员,因为球队的主要目标是再次赢得这项比赛。
巴黎圣日耳曼是本赛季欧冠联赛的主要焦点,他们打进19球,但恩里克肯定会在接下来的几个月里解决防守问题,因为这可能会让他们在联赛的后期付出沉重的代价。
巴黎圣日耳曼目前在法甲排名第二,这不是一个正常的位置,但球队进入第一只是时间问题。上周末他们以5-0获胜,路易斯·恩里克把这场比赛放在心上,最重要的是,他的球队没有丢球。
哈基米因伤缺阵,卢卡斯·埃尔南德斯停赛。
毕尔巴鄂竞技今年的赛季比去年更加复杂,因为几名重要球员因伤缺阵。在他们的最后一场联赛中,尽管取得了巨大的胜利,但他们的关键球员拉波特又受伤了。
在欧冠联赛中,竞技只赢了一场温和的卡拉巴格和一场战平普拉哈斯拉维亚,在两支弱队的比赛中获得积分。目前,他们在预选赛位置之外,很可能以这个位置结束比赛。
竞技将带着鼓舞士气的结果进入这场比赛,尽管他们在周六以1比0击败了马德里竞技,亚历克斯·贝伦格尔在比赛后期打进了唯一的进球。
Aitor Paredes被停职。罗伯特·纳瓦罗、贝纳特·普拉多斯、艾默里克·拉波特、乌奈·埃吉鲁兹、马洛安·桑纳迪和伊纳基·威廉姆斯因伤缺阵。
对于主队来说,这是几次重要的缺阵,在与强队的比赛中,球队的实力被削弱了。由于伤病,竞技队的阵容变短了,教练也不能随心所欲地管理他的球员。巴黎圣日耳曼的球员们喜欢参加这项比赛,他们更有动力和信心。毕尔巴鄂将会有很多麻烦来阻止欧冠冠军,并且会输掉这场比赛,因为他们实力较弱。
