For Verratti, Mbappé must not "put his career in danger for a match"

In an interview with  La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marco Verratti confides on the goals of PSG in the Champions League and the way he and his teammates approach this great meeting. Chosen songs: “The pact is to have no regrets and to give everything to play each game to the fullest and go as far as possible. We know that we are a very strong team, and that if we play together, with determination and professionalism, we will have our say. Afterwards, the Champions League is a difficult tournament for everyone (…) We are not yet at 100%, which is normal after such a long period of inactivity. The clubs which have resumed their Championship have an advantage (…) It is important to concentrate and to arrive with a free head on the day of the match. We have to play this opportunity thoroughly ”.

"When he's not there, like Neymar, you can feel the difference"

For the Italian midfielder, there is a PSG with and without Mbappé, still uncertain for the quarter-final against Atalanta (August 12) due to an ankle injury. “When he's not there, like Neymar, you can feel the difference. But with this kind of injury, it changes every day. Sometimes you think everything is over, and the pain comes back (…) He has to work hard to come back, but you must not put pressure on him. He is only 21 years old, he must not put his career at risk for a match, ”said Verratti.
