De Zerbi Warns PSG Ahead of Le Classique

Shakhtar Donetsk boss Roberto De Zerbi has warned Paris Saint-Germain that they will need to be at their best to beat his team at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

De Zerbi's Shakhtar have already beaten Real Madrid this season and he believes they can cause an upset against the French champions.

He said: "We know that PSG are a great team with great players, but we have our own strengths and we believe that we can cause them problems. We have already shown this season that we can beat anyone on our day, and we are confident that we can do it again against PSG."

PSG will be without the suspended Neymar for the first leg, but De Zerbi is still wary of the threat posed by the Ligue 1 leaders.

He said: "Neymar is a great player, but PSG have other great players who can hurt us. We will need to be careful and disciplined in defense, and we will need to take our chances when we get them."

The match is scheduled to hold June 19, 2023, at 8 pm at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France.
