“At home we can beat any team.”
The fact that PSG star Lionel Messi has on his knee and will therefore not be able to play against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday should be little consolation for coach Jesse Marsch’s team. After three defeats in the previous group games in the premier class and a mixed season in the Bundesliga, they do not want to be discouraged. In response to a journalist’s assessment that a win against Paris could be described as a “huge miracle”, striker Yussuf Poulsen replied: “If we don’t believe that we can still do everything in the group, then we can stop playing straight away. We are still positive. We know that we can and should have had more of this group. We know that we are a top team and at home we can beat any team. ” “That is always the goal. We have had exam after exam, after exam and I think we have played better and better and better. And we need that moment when we have a big click. It comes together in a lot, a lot a moment. And then the self-confidence and the power comes from within our group. ” Paris St. Germain is leader of the group A. Whether Leipzig will succeed in the longed-for liberation will be clarified on Wednesday from 9 p.m.
Before the Champions League second leg against Paris St. Germain, coach Jesse Marsch and striker Yussuf Poulsen were optimistic.
