This Wednesday evening at 9 p.m., PSG will play its first Champions League match on the pitch in Bruges.
If the excitement of seeing the Messi-Neymar-Mbappé trio in action is palpable, it is the trip of the PSG players that is talking in the flat country.
In an article, Le Soir discusses the unhealthy journey of Parisians to get to Bruges.
Mauricio Pochettino's players flew to the Belgian city of Ostend on Tuesday - for barely 30 minutes of travel - while the club bus was driving empty to pick them up at the airport for then take them to their hotel located south of Bruges.

Champions League fixtures and results
2h30 by bus, 20 minutes by plane
This trip therefore raised questions on the part of the Belgian daily which denounces a trip "
not very green
", especially since Bruges and Paris are separated by only 2.5 hours by road.
In its article,
Le Soir is
ironic about the fact that PSG "
returned the favor to Bruges
", which had traveled in the same way to come to the Park two seasons ago.
This is not the first time that the footballers' modes of transport have raised questions, even if the clubs are raising questions of safety as to the choice of the plane rather than the train or the bus.
For example, Kylian Mbappé had been taken back on his private plane trip from Strasbourg to Paris after leaving the gathering of the Blues earlier this month. Several clubs have already started to change their mode of transport, including AS Roma who make most of their train trips to league matches.
