PSG/Slovan Bratislava – Markovic’s formula to hope for a good result

This Wednesday at 9 p.m. (broadcast on Canal+), Paris Saint-Germain will face Slovan Bratislava at the Parc des Princes as part of the 1st matchday of the 2026-2027 Champions League. At the press conference, Slovak club defender Svetozar Markovic (26) was asked to discuss the most important points for coming away with a positive result.

Markovic: “everything is important”

“We all know that we are playing against one of the best teams in Europe. So, I think everything is important, from the details to the bigger things. We have to stay together, fight for every ball, support each other, talk. But one of the most important things is to stay focused for the full 90 minutes.”

The Slovak defender is not getting sidetracked; it is not a question of focusing only on one aspect of the game or on one player. PSG are complete, and the danger can come from almost anywhere. His team will have no choice: a great performance will be needed to take at least 1 point.

Still, Paris must not think they are superior and already victorious. Football forgives nothing; everything can change quickly. The Parisians, too, will have to stay fully focused to start their European campaign in the best possible way. It is time to become clinical again, with an opponent ready to give everything for an upset. It will be up to PSG to respond with intensity and be more accurate than they have been lately in both penalty areas.
