This Wednesday night at 21:00, Paris Saint-Germain will host Tottenham in an eagerly anticipated match as part of the fifth round of the Champions League group stage. Despite the significance of the encounter, public authorities are not overly concerned, as the national division combating hooliganism (DNLH) has rated the event at only a low 2 out of 5 in terms of potential disturbances. Approximately 2,000 fans from the reigning Europa League champions, Tottenham, are expected to fill the stands at Parc des Princes.
The last clash between the two teams took place earlier this season in August during the UEFA Super Cup in Udine, where PSG triumphed in a dramatic penalty shootout following a 2-2 draw. A significant number of English supporters is anticipated to be present for this match. However, as reported by L’Équipe, law enforcement agencies remain vigilant, worried that certain small groups of Parisian fans may cause trouble the day before, recalling similar incidents from last season’s quarterfinal first leg against Aston Villa.
The atmosphere at Parc des Princes is sure to be electric as these two European giants face off, showcasing talent and intensity on the pitch. With both teams looking to secure crucial points, fans are in for an exciting match.
