After facing the French capital last November during the play-off of the Champions League, PSG and Atletico de Madrid are preparing to find themselves. This time, it is on the other side of the Atlantic that the two Ogres will compete, on the occasion of the Club World Cup. Inevitably, the result of the last confrontation between the two teams is in all the heads: the Madrid won 2-1 at the Parc des Princes, thanks to a goal from Angel Correa after additional time. And less than 24 hours from what looks like a revenge, Diego Simeone did not round his torso.
Present at a press conference this Saturday, the Argentinian technician remembered the meeting. And while Paris had outrageously dominated the ninety minutes despite the scoring, El Cholo recognized the superiority that Parisians had shown during this meeting: ” They (Parisians) deserved to win this match. They had played better and obtained many goal opportunities. We were decisive and made a huge collective effort. Neither of the two teams has changed much since that day. They will continue on this momentum, with young players in the midfield, very good offensively, and a coach who worked very well wherever he went, instilling a strong conviction to his players. We know, alone, where we have to lead the match to be more comfortable and try to do it. Remarks quite similar to those of Antoine Griezmann, who also mentioned the part played last year.
