The pre-match
PSG-Leipzig, a new poster with false airs of “new world” and real symbolic transfer of power. For the first time since 2005, neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo, winners of nine of the last fifteen editions with their respective clubs, are not present in the last four of the C1.
And in the absence of Real Madrid, AC Milan, Liverpool or Barcelona, only Bayern Munich, who will play against Lyon on Wednesday, is resisting the “old world” against the emergence of new powers embodied by PSG of Neymar and Leipzig version Red Bull.
If the Parisian club has just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, and has already reached this stage of the competition in 1995, it is since the arrival of the Qatari owners in 2011 that it has once again become a regular contender for the European coronation.
A period that corresponds to the founding of Leipzig … in 2009. In the space of a decade, the German club went from the fifth division to the continental elite thanks to the support of the multinational Red Bull and ” a sports policy focused on the detection of young talents.
Without having conquered the crowds in Germany, where his feat against Atlético Madrid (2-1) last Thursday does not arouse the same enthusiasm as the start of his opponent’s epic in France.
