Sami Hyypia's men look to salvage some pride
PSG host Bayer Leverkusen as they look to finish the proceedings with a comfortable win,taking home a 4-0 advantage.Leverkusen would be desperate to register even a tight victory against the mighty Parisiens after conceding losses in 5 matches out of their last six and have drawn one. Leverkusen will be hoping against hope at the Parc des Princes but they still will lookto give their 100% and will be eager to restore some lost pride.
While ,PSG are in sublime form ,winning their last 5 games and would be eager to pull off a great victory at their home under the lights and the night sky.
PSG are making in roads into the quarter finals of the Champions League due to the likes of Ibrahimovic, Cavani & Ezequiel Lavezzi who have been in dazzling form ,their defence which has restricted the opposition team and their midfield creativity is also quite commendable.
In the first leg Ibra bagged a brace,Matuidi opened the scoring and Cabaye finished it off with a late rebound. Leverkusen got very meagre chances in the whole game and were not able to hold on to the ball even for a few minutes.
Psg coach Laurent Blanc said in the pre match press conference-
"We negotiated the first leg. And brilliantly so, now we must finish the job"
"We negotiated the first leg. And brilliantly so, now we must finish the job"
He added "I would like to avoid Barcelona, Real Madrid and particularly Bayern Munich in the Quarter Finals"
"For four years Bayern is always present in the last four. They lost two finals. It is a club that should be avoided, but we do not control the draw."
Team News
Edinson Cavani and Christopher Jallet are back for men in dark blue(after missingo out the first leg) which would uplift the spirits of the team.
On the other hand for Bayer, the injury of their midfielder Jens Hegeler(ankle),Robbie Kruse and the suspension of Eric Spahic will heap upon the troubles for them.
