After Madrid draw, PSG must take their chance against Louvain | OneFootball

PSG host Louvain on Thursday at 21:00 for matchday two of the Women’s Champions League, and cannot afford missteps before tougher assignments. They are chasing a first win in the competition since 28 March 2024, a 3-0 quarter-final victory over Häcken.

They opened with a 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid on 22 September. As reported by L'Équipe, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Chelsea await next.

One selection question is who partners Sakina Karchaoui and Jennifer Echegini in midfield. The options are Anaïs Ebayilin, Vitoria Yaya, Floriane Jourde or Emilie Osteras. The Norwegian, newly arrived from AIK Solna, started in Madrid.

Paulo Cesar says Osteras has already settled well, reads the game, positions herself smartly and wins the ball. He adds that she plays forward, communicates clearly and is an asset to the side.

The match will be staged at Campus PSG rather than the Parc des Princes, as initially planned, due to operational constraints.
