PSG Clash Is Not Mission Impossible – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said Manchester United can turn around the 2-0 Champions League first-leg deficit against Paris Saint-Germain today, saying “It’s never mission impossible.”

Manchester United recently traveled to Paris with 10 players out injured plus a suspended Paul Pogba who was red carded in the first leg.

Very young players like Brandon Williams and Mason Greenwood have been named just to keep the substitutes’ bench occupied at Parc des Princes.

But Ole has said The Red Devils can make it to the quarterfinals if they score first tonight.

“It’s never mission impossible,”

“It’s difficult, but we’ve got to get the first goal and then anything can happen.

“Goals always change games and if we get the first one, we’ll be believing even more and they might start doubting themselves, but it’s important we get the first one.

“We are 2-0 down, but we’ll never approach any game as a lost cause. We put that pressure on ourselves. Everyone expects us to go out, and go out easily, but that doesn’t happen with Man United.

“Our pride was hurt last time we played them, so we’re going to see players who give their all and, if we get nine or 10 playing to the top standards, we’ve got a chance.”

“There have been some results in the Champions League over the last few years,” he said. “I don’t want to call it strange, but last year Juventus lost 3-0 at home to Real and, suddenly, they were 3-0 up at the Bernabeu.

“The year before that, Barca came back against PSG. We remember those results and there are so many examples of teams who can change results like this.

“My players have been fantastic away from home, they have beaten Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea, so it gives us belief.

“We need to stay in the game with half an hour left and, if there is one goal in it, anything can happen.

“But we need a good plan and it needs to be put in place. We need to perform on the night because they are a team full of quality.”
