PSG bus attacked after Champions League, Flamengo may face them at Club World Cup | OneFootball

Vehicle was parked in front of PSG (FRA) hotel in Spain

Possible opponent of Flamengo in the World Cup, PSG (FRA) had their bus stoned, in the early hours of this Wednesday (10), after the goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao (ESP) in the Champions League. The vehicle was parked in front of the hotel where the French delegation was staying in Spain.

According to the French newspaper ‘RMC Sport’, no player or member of the technical staff was inside the bus at the time of the attack. The local police arrested two young suspects of throwing the stones that damaged the vehicle.

WHEN DID THE ATTACK OCCUR?

The attack occurred a few hours after the draw that kept PSG in third place in the league phase. So far, the French team has 13 points out of 18 played, trailing Bayern Munich (GER) and Arsenal (ENG).

Despite the tension, the French club tries to stay focused on the season and the World Cup competition. The episode reinforces the pressure on Luis Enrique's team, which faces decisive commitments in the coming weeks.

CAN FLAMENGO AND PSG FACE EACH OTHER?

Current Champions League champion, PSG is directly qualified for the World Cup final and awaits the opponent. However, the French club is considering sending an alternative team to Qatar, which may influence the scenario of the match scheduled for Sunday (14).

Meanwhile, Flamengo, champion of the Libertadores, needs to overcome two stages before the final. After defeating Cruz Azul (MEX) 2-1, the Rubro-Negro faces Pyramids (EGY) this Saturday (13). In short, if they advance, the Rubro-Negro will face PSG in the grand final.
