PSG begins, Wednesday August 12, the "Final 8" of the Champions League in the quarter-finals against Atalanta Bergamo, in Lisbon. On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, Paris, absent from the semi-finals of the European queen competition since 1995, has a unique opportunity to repeat the best course in its history.

After breaking the curse of the eighths, PSG will now have to overcome the black series of injuries: from Marco Verratti to Kylian Mbappé, even coach Thomas Tuchel, injured in a foot, has not escaped it.

Succeeding in qualifying without his best weapons, five months after the emotional lift of the eighth against Dortmund and the paralysis of the competitions caused by the coronavirus, it is the immense challenge which awaits the Parisian club. In a cut-throat match, which leaves no room for error, PSG are counting on their star striker Neymar against the Italian team, who created a surprise this season in Serie A.
