Press round-up: PSG v Bayern, Dembélé v Olise and Youth League | OneFootball

This Friday, April 17, the French press (from a sporting point of view) focused on Paris Saint-Germain’s side on the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich (April 28 and May 6), the duel between Ousmane Dembélé (the 28-year-old PSG forward) and Michael Olise (the 24-year-old forward for the German club), and the Youth League semi-final this Friday at 6:45 p.m. between Paris and Real Madrid U19.

Indeed, the two-legged tie between PSG and Bayern Munich is particularly enticing. These are two teams that have been impressing for several months and have established themselves as favorites for this Champions League. The winner will naturally be seen as the favorite for the final against Atlético Madrid or Arsenal. And it is difficult to predict. What we can already be sure of, however, is that this semi-final will be especially intense and, most certainly, spectacular.

Within these two outstanding teams, there are special players. Among them Dembélé and Olise, who share some similarities even though they remain very different players. Their statistics this season are impressive, which is becoming the norm for them. They will be particularly worth watching, just as they will be when they are together with the French national team during the World Cup this summer.

While waiting for all these major clashes, there is the Youth League today, with PSG’s semi-final at 6:45 p.m. (the one between Benfica and Bruges is at 2 p.m.) before the final on Monday evening. The young Parisians are, of course, aiming first for qualification and then for the title. That comes before wrapping up intense reflection and discussions about their future. Some are expected to stay, but many are on their way out of PSG.
