PSV, next Champions League challenge

Girona travels to Eindhoven to play the fourth day of Champions League. The European dream continues and the team faces the second trip after Paris, and after having received in Montilivi Feyenoord and Bratislava, with the visit to the Philips Stadion Míchel's players want to add the second consecutive victory in the competition despite the difficulties due to injuries, against a demanding rival that is leader in the Eredivise and has not lost at home since 2022. Before losing this past weekend at Ajax, the Dutch had won the first ten league matches, being the top scorers (35) and the lowest scorers (6). The start in the Champions League has not been the best, however, as they started with a 3-1 defeat at Juve and drew the next two matches 1-1 against Sporting Portugal and PSG.

PSV's big names

One of PSV's mainstays is Luuk de Jong, top scorer with seven goals. The former Barça and Sevilla striker scored 29 goals last season, his record in professional soccer, and this year he is in his eighth season at the club. He is joined in attack by key players such as Lang, Til, Tillman, Lozano and Bakayoko, and between them they have scored a further 20 goals. The team's coach is Bosz, and the Dutchman has started his second season in charge of the team this year. He has previously coached big European clubs such as Olympique Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, and last season with PSV he won the league and the Johan Cruijff Schaal. In Europe they have scored three goals and conceded five. They also have important absentees such as Sergiño Dest, with a past at Barça, or Perisic, who is not registered for the competition.

Juvenil A wants to get on track for qualification

Sergi Mora's boys have taken seven of the first nine points in the UEFA Youth League, and have the passage to the next round at their fingertips. After drawing against Slovan Bratislava, they want to take three points that will allow them to get on track to qualify for the round of 32. They face PSV, who have only taken one point, last matchday against PSG (3-3), and who had lost their two previous matches.
