Summary
Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain kick off their UEFA Champions League title defense at the Parc des Princes against Atalanta BC on Wednesday night. After winning the trophy for the first time last season with Luis Enrique, Paris looks to build on that momentum with injuries to some key players. Atalanta, managed by new boss Ivan Juric, arrives here as dangerous underdogs with a good record in Europe away from home, but will face an enormous test against the holders.
PSG vs Atalanta Team News
Paris Saint-Germain: Luis Enrique is facing several injury issues going into the opener. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (knee), Lee Kang-in (ankle), and Lucas Beraldo (ankle) are all questionable after picking up injuries last weekend, and Ousmane Dembélé (ankle) and Désiré Doué (ankle) will still be out from international duty. The good news is that Fabian Ruiz (ankle) should be back fit. The rested stars Nuno Mendes (not injured) and Marquinhos (not injured) should also see the field. Atalanta BC: Ivan Juric is likely without Gianluca Scamacca (knee inflammation), leaving Nikola Krstovic to partner Charles De Ketelaere in attack. Ademola Lookman remains out, while Ederson and Sead Kolasinac are long-term absentees in midfield and defense, respectively. The Anthony Martial of Belgian football, in De Ketelaere, will be important to La Dea's success with his creativity and ability to score recently.
Recent Form
PSG's recent performance:
The champions are in excellent form and are yet to lose a match this season across all competitions. They have posted five consecutive wins, starting Ligue 1 with two 1-0 wins and following up with an emphatic 6-0 win against Toulouse. Most recently, they beat Lens 2-0, with Bradley Barcola scoring both goals.
Atalanta's recent performance:
Atalanta have had an up-and-down start to the season under their new coach, Ivan Juric. They started the Serie A season with draws against Parma and Pisa and then hit their stride, defeating Lecce 4-1 thanks to the creativity of Charles De Ketelaere. Regardless of a shaky start, Atalanta are still a threat, especially away from home. They are unbeaten in their last eight European matches away from home, and they have scored in 15 consecutive games.
PSG vs Atalanta Preview
Paris Saint-Germain begins a new UEFA Champions League campaign full of confidence following their incredible treble-winning season. A balance of Luis Enrique's youth and experience has left the French champions elevated. Although they do have injuries to deal with, they still bring an attacking depth that will see them among the favorites for the competition.
Atalanta is at a more transitional point under Ivan Juric. Their attacking style has remained, but their defensive weaknesses, alongside the absence of forwards, will be problematic against a clinical team like PSG. The quality of their away record in Europe is positive, yet PSG's quality at Parc des Princes makes them the heavy favorites to leave with three points.
