Milan had a strong start in the Europa League group stage, but after two victories at the start over today’s opponent (3:1) and Sparta (3:0), they lost concentration and gained only one point in two matches with Lille (0:3 and 1:1). This result brought seven points and second place in the standings. In the Serie A championship the “devils” are at the top of the standings. The Rossoneri have never lost for nine rounds, while they have recorded seven victories and shared the tournament points with their opponents twice. Last Sunday the red-blacks easily dealt with Fiorentina at home (2:0). Leau, Musacchio and Ibrahimovic will not play today.
The French champion looks unstable this season. The team is in a fever both in the Champions League and in the national championship. For example, in Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain has not won two rounds in a row. First, they lost in the away match to Monaco (2:3) and last weekend ended in a draw at home with Bordeaux (2:2). There is not much to boast of Thomas Tuchel’s team and the Champions League. The finalist of the last rally won only two fights. On the road they managed to take three points from Bashakshehir (2:0) in class and at home they hardly beat Leipzig (1:0) in the last round. Although the same Leipzig lost 1:2 away and Manchester United lost at home 1:2. Thus, the tournament situation for the Parisians is not easy. They are three points behind Manchester United and they are ahead of Leipzig only in additional indicators. There is no way to lose the meeting. The Bulls, for sure, will not miss their chance in Turkey. Moreover, they play at home in the last round. PSG’s staffing situation has been more or less stabilized. Pablo Sarabia, Mauro Icardi, Juan Bernat, Julian Draxler are still in the infirmary. However, the main clip is in the ranks.
