Welcome everyone
PSG has no room for error this Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes. Luis Enrique's players welcome Atlético de Madrid on the fourth day of the Champions League with the obligation to win so as not to jeopardize their chances of qualifying for the round of 16.

Result: the Ligue 1 leaders are provisionally 23rd in the standings before facing the Cochoneros. Enough to put some pressure on them when it comes time to challenge Diego Simeone's troops.
