At a press conference, Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, expressed concern about the quality of the Atlanta stadium lawn, where his team will face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the World Cup Clubs. This concern is in addition to the criticisms expressed by some players about playing conditions, including heat, which have persisted since the start of the competition. Enrique pointed out that the lawn was even harder than in the match against Inter Miami, hoping for an improvement thanks to rain or humidity.

The return of Ousmane Dembélé, wounded since the last international truce, is a central topic for the PSG before this crucial game. After completing all the training sessions with the group, the French striker might well return to his position in the Bayern Munich. Luis Enrique confirmed Dembélé’s good attitude and his integration into the team, while avoiding giving specific information to the opponent. The final decision on its tenure will be taken on the eve of the meeting.

The bookmakers consider Paris Saint-Germain to be the favourite in this quarter final, with a score of 1.62 for a qualification, compared to 2.00 for Bayern Munich. Harry Kane was most likely to score for the Bayern (2.13), but Ousmane Dembélé followed closely (2.23). An interesting bet could be to bet on a goal of Dembélé and Désiré Doué, with a combined score of 8.05. The French player, eager to start his competition and confirm his status, could finally find the way to the nets against the Bavarians.
