A week after attacking the European campaign with a spectacular success against Juventus (5-3), the U 19s coached by Zoumana Camara travel to Israel for their second Youth League match.
The Parisian Titis face Maccabi Haifa, this Wednesday at 2 p.m., at Netanya Stadium.
The opportunity to redo the icing after a defeat in the league, Sunday, on the ground of Montfermeil (1-3).
The challenge
If on paper Maccabi Haifa is not the toughest opponent, PSG will still have to be wary.
Especially since for its first outing in the competition, the club from this port city in northern Israel created a sensation by dominating Benfica on home soil (1-0).
If successful, Paris would take the lead in the standings alone and would already be in the best conditions for qualification at the end of the group stage even if the road is long.
At the same time the match Juve - Benfica will be played.
Not broadcast in France
Unlike last week with PSG - Juventus, BeIN Sports will not broadcast the match.
Indeed, this one not being produced by UEFA, the television channel is unable to recover the images to broadcast the match.
This problem had already happened for Tottenham - OM last week.
One player to watch: Noha Lemina
Author of 5 goals in his last 4 games, including the last Sunday in Montfermeil, Noha Lemina (2005) made a remarkable start to the season.
Little brother of Mario Lemina, the OGC Nice player, the 17-year-old winger was not a regular starter for his first season in U 19 last year.
He still needs to gain consistency in his performance.
But his start to the season shows that he is on the right track.
On September 3, he distinguished himself by scoring with a Madjer against Dunkirk for what will remain as one of the most beautiful goals of the season.
PSG has identified him as one of the talents of tomorrow and has just signed his first professional contract.
