Coach Thomas Tuchel of Paris Saint-Germain is also hoping for a quick return of his superstar Neymar with a view to the next Champions League game at RB Leipzig.
The replacement of the Brazilian in the game at Basaksehir was a precautionary measure, said the German coach after 2-0. “It’s the adductors. He had an uncomfortable feeling. I hope it
‘s not an injury.” Neymar had already left the pitch in the 26th minute. Newcomer Moise Kean secured victory in the second half with two goals. PSG and RB thus have three points.
The next Wednesday there will be a direct meeting in Leipzig, which is also the new edition of the semi-final. In August PSG won the final tournament in Lisbon 3-0.
