PSG/Eintracht Frankfurt – Paulo César stresses the match’s importance

Paulo César, Paris Saint-Germain’s coach, spoke at a press conference to discuss the match against Eintracht Frankfurt this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. (broadcast on PSG TV Premium) as part of the second leg of the preliminary round of the 2026-2027 Women’s Champions League (1-1 in the first leg). In comments reported by the club’s official website, he stressed just how important this meeting is.

Paulo César: “It’s a final.”

“We have to play this match like a final, that’s the mentality we need to have. We had a very good first half in the first leg. Now, we have to qualify. We are going to give everything and do everything we can to be in the best possible conditions. The extra motivation is that our supporters will be there. We are going to play this match on our home ground, and that is an advantage. I hope we will do our very best so that the supporters are proud of us. On the pitch, we will have to be ready because it is a final.”

They will have to manage the pressure well, because there is no room for pretending: tonight’s match is crucial for the season and the project. As PSG fights for stability, and even a return to progress, missing out on the Champions League would be a huge disappointment that could be hard to swallow.

Now, the key will be to use what is at stake as motivation. The risk, of course, is that it becomes a mental block for some players. The experience of the senior players will have to help make the difference, while some players are still very young. And we should not forget that there is a strong opponent on the other side, ready to fight for qualification. Let’s hope PSG can put together all the right ingredients to come out on top.
