The pre-season club friendly between Paris Saint-Germain and Al-Nassr will take place at Nagai Stadium on Tuesday at 3:50 pm IST.
On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain will continue their preparations for the 2023-24 season with a pre-season friendly against Al-Nassr, a team from Saudi Arabia. The French champions are getting ready for their first Ligue 1 match against Lorient on August 12, while Al-Nassr’s next competitive game will be against Al Shabab in the Arab Club Champions Cup on July 28.
Kylian Mbappe’s absence from PSG’s pre-season tour has sparked rumors of his potential sale, as the French champions aim to avoid losing him for free next year. Real Madrid is seen as the front-runner, but Premier League teams are also interested. Despite scoring in a friendly against Le Havre, Mbappe was left out of the touring squad, while PSG focuses on matches against Al-Nassr, Cerezo Osaka, Inter Milan, and Jeonbuk Motors. The team will kick off their 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign against Lorient on July 12 under a new manager. PSG has been active in the summer market, adding several notable players to their squad.
Al-Nassr has made significant signings, including Seko Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival, they finished second in the Saudi Pro League, five points behind the champions. In summer friendlies, they won against Alverca and Farense but suffered defeats to Celta Vigo (5-0) and Benfica (4-1). More friendlies against PSG and Inter Milan are scheduled before their competitive match against Al Shabab in the Arab Club Champions Cup on July 28. The new league season starts against Al Ettifaq on August 14.
Paris Saint-Germain probable starting lineup: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Skriniar, Marquinhos, Hernandez, Verratti, Vitinha, Ugarte, Kang-in, Asensio, Neymar
Al-Nassr probable starting lineup: Al-Aqidi, Konan, Oujami, Al-Amri, Telles, Brozovic, Fofana, K Al Ghannam, Talisca, Ronaldo, Ghareeb
