PSG travels to Lyon this Sunday for a heated clash on matchday 12. Under pressure as the leader, with a decimated squad and forced rotation, Luis Enrique is treading on dangerous ground.
The clash comes in a tense context: Paris is coming off a frustrating defeat in the Champions League and must react to maintain their lead before the break. Lyon is not at its best but remains unpredictable at home, despite a setback in the Europa League. The duel promises to be tight, with two teams forced to adapt but capable of raising their game.
To complicate matters, Benoît Bastien will be the referee. Known for his firmness, with an average of 3.91 yellow cards per match and a direct red card rate above average, the referee promises a fast-paced and tense match. Few double warnings, but a true zero tolerance for gross fouls: in a Groupama Stadium heated to the max, every contact could weigh heavily.
