Paris Saint Germain, with Argentine Lionel Messi among the holders, pays a visit to the Israeli Maccabi Haifa, in a match corresponding to the second date of Group H of the Champions League.
The match will begin at 4:00 pm, Argentine time, with an ESPN broadcast.
Messi is the team’s biggest assist this season, with seven scoring passes, ahead of France’s Kylian Mbappé (6) and Portugal’s Nuno Mendes (2). He is also the third scorer, with three goals, behind his Brazilian friend Neymar (6) and Mbappé (7).
PSG’s goal, bordering on obsession, is to get the Champions League, for which it prepares with hierarchical reinforcements every season. His start was promising with a 2-1 home win over Juventus.
In the same area there will be an important match between Juventus (without points) led by Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes; and Benfica (3) by Nicolás Otamendi and Enzo Fernández in Turin, also at 16:00 in Argentina.
The rest of the date will also see the current champion, Real Madrid, at home against Leipzig from Germany, for Group F.
Manchester City, with Julián Álvarez in the squad, will receive Borussia Dortmund from Germany, for Group G. All at 16:00 and broadcast on ESPN.
