Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2020/21 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Parc des Princes - Paris Tuesday 20 October 2020 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Paris Saint-Germain Group H - Matchday 1 Manchester United FC Last updated 29/10/2020 15:34CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 Paris Saint-Germain - Manchester United FC Tuesday 20 October 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Parc des Princes, Paris Match background There will be plenty of familiar faces on both sides as 2020 UEFA Champions League runners-up Paris welcome Manchester United to the French capital on Matchday 1 of the new campaign. • Edinson Cavani signed for the English club earlier this month after seven highly successful years with Paris, Ander Herrera having moved in the opposite direction in 2019. In addition, Ángel Di María was once United's record signing. • There is also the small matter of a memorable UEFA Champions League tie between the clubs two seasons ago, when United created a piece of competition history with a memorable comeback. Previous meetings • Paris looked to have seized control of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against United, the only previous fixtures between the clubs, with a 2-0 first-leg victory at Old Trafford thanks to two goals in eight second-half minutes from Presnel Kimpembe (53) and Kylian Mbappé (60). • No side had ever recovered from a two-goal home first-leg defeat in the UEFA Champions League era and, though United struck early at the Parc des Princes through Romelu Lukaku (2), Juan Bernat levelled for the home side ten minutes later. Lukaku restored United's lead on the night on the half-hour, however, and just when it appeared they would fall short, Marcus Rashford held his nerve from the penalty spot four minutes into added time after Kimpembe had been penalised for handball to put his team in the quarter-finals on away goals. Form guide Paris • Ligue 1 champions for the seventh time in eight years in 2019/20, and ninth time overall, Paris also won both domestic cups last season. This is the French side's ninth successive UEFA Champions League campaign and 13th in total. • Paris reached their first European Cup final last season, only to lose 1-0 to Bayern München in Lisbon. They had beaten Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 (1-2 a, 2-0 h), Atalanta in the one-off quarter-final (2-1) and Leipzig in the semi-final (3-0) en route to the decider. • The Parisians have reached the knockout stages on their last eight UEFA Champions League appearances, although 2019/20 marked their first semi-final appearance since 1995. They suffered three successive last-16 defeats prior to last season. • Thomas Tuchel's team finished first in a section also including Real Madrid, Club Brugge and Galatasaray in 2019/20. They won five of their six games, drawing the other, and conceded only two goals to finish five points above Madrid. • Paris had scored in 34 successive UEFA Champions League games, matching the competition record set by Real Madrid between 2011 and 2014, before drawing a blank in last season's final. • Paris have won 12 of their last 18 UEFA Champions League matches (D3 L3). • That 2019 defeat at home to United ended Paris's unbeaten run of six games against Premier League opposition in France (W3 D3), although they have not kept a clean sheet in any of those seven matches. Paris have now lost two of their ten home fixtures against English visitors (W4 D4), the other a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea in the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League group stage. • The second-leg defeat against United was only the Parisian club's third reverse in their last 55 European home games since crashing 4-2 to Hapoel Tel-Aviv in the 2006/07 UEFA Cup group stage (W36 D16) – they also went down 3-1 to Barcelona in the 2014/15 quarter-finals and 2-1 against Real Madrid in the 2017/18 round of 16 second leg. • In the UEFA Champions League group stage Paris are unbeaten in their last 24 matches at the Parc des Princes (W19 D5), since a December 2004 reversal against CSKA Moskva (1-3). In the last three group campaigns their home record is W8 D1. Manchester United • This is United's 23th UEFA Champions League group stage campaign, more than any other English side and fewer only than Barcelona and Real Madrid (both 25) and Porto and Bayern München (both 24) overall. They have qualified for the knockout phase on 18 occasions, also an English record. • The three-time European champions' most recent appearance in the competition came in 2018/19, when they lost to Barcelona in the quarter-finals after that round of 16 comeback against Paris. • Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side reached the UEFA Europa League semi-finals in 2019/20, losing to eventual champions 2 Paris Saint-Germain - Manchester United FC Tuesday 20 October 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Parc des Princes, Paris Sevilla in the last four. They had finished first in their section on 13 points before comfortable aggregate wins against Club Brugge (6-1) and LASK (7-1) in the round of 32 and 16 respectively and a 1-0 extra-time defeat of Copenhagen in the one-off quarter-final. Sevilla proved too strong in the semis, however, United going down 2-1 in Cologne. • United have finished first in their UEFA Champions League section 15 times, although only once since 2013/14. • The Manchester club finished third in the Premier League in 2019/20. • European Cup winners in 1968, United lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy in 1999 and 2008, also reaching the final in 2009 and 2011 – the latter four all under Sir Alex Ferguson. • United are unbeaten in their last five trips to France (W3 D2), since a 1-0 loss at LOSC Lille in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League group stage in a match played at the Stade de France. United have lost only twice in their 14 away games with Ligue 1 clubs (W5 D7). • The Red Devils have lost only one of their last ten matches against Ligue 1 clubs, home and away (W7 D2) – at home to Paris in 2019. Links and trivia • Cavani is Paris's record scorer, hitting 200 goals in 301 games for the club between 2013 and 2020. He won six Ligue 1 titles, four Coupes de France and five Coupes de la Ligue. • Herrera was at United from 2014 to 2019, scoring 20 goals in his 189 appearances. He was part of the team that won the UEFA Europa League and English League Cup in 2016/17 having lifted the FA Cup the previous season. • Di María spent 2014/15 at United, scoring three goals in 27 Premier League appearances before leaving for Paris. • Anthony Martial was born in the Paris suburb of Massy, starting his football education at local grassroots club Les Ulis, whose alumni include Thierry Henry, before joining Lyon's academy aged 14. He broke into OL's first team in 2012/13, joining Monaco in 2013 before signing for United two years later. • Have also played in England: Moise Kean (Everton 2019/20) Sergio Rico (Fulham 2018/19 loan) Idrissa Gueye (Aston Villa 2015/16, Everton 2016–19) • Have played together: Layvin Kurzawa & Anthony Martial (Monaco 2013–15) Danilo Pereira & Alex Telles (Porto 2016–20) • International team-mates: Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa, Kylian Mbappé & Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial (France) Marquinhos, Neymar & Alex Telles, Fred (Brazil) Juan Bernat, Pablo Sarabia, Ander Herrera & David de Gea (Spain) Danilo Pereira & Bruno Fernandes (Portugal) • Kimpembe, Mbappé and Pogba were all in France's victorious 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.

  • American Express Réaffirme Son Soutien Indéfectible À Ses Clients Dans Une Nouvelle Campagne Avec Son Partenaire, Le Paris Saint-Germain
    Communiqué de presse American Express réaffirme son soutien indéfectible à ses clients dans une nouvelle campagne avec son partenaire, le Paris Saint-Germain § Dans ce contexte si particulier de crise sanitaire et d’incertitudes économiques, American Express lance une campagne d’envergure centrée sur l’excellence de service que la marque délivre à ses clients et qui constitue l’essence de son engagement depuis sa création il y a 170 ans : qu’ils soient particuliers, chefs d’entreprise ou commerçants, American Express est là pour ses clients en toutes circonstances. § Lancée à partir d’aujourd’hui, le 2 novembre, et visible jusqu’à fin 2020, cette campagne signe le retour d’American Express en télévision en France, une première depuis 2006. Un film de 30 secondes sera diffusé sur les grandes chaînes nationales (TF1, France 2, France 3, M6, …), sur la TNT (C8, BFM TV, …) et sur les chaînes sportives (RMC Sport, Be In Sport, L’Équipe TV, Téléfoot, …). Un plan média digital et social media vient compléter le dispositif, sur des sites d'information généraliste et d’actualité sportive, sur YouTube et sur les réseaux sociaux (Facebook, Instagram et Twitter). § Dans cette campagne conduite avec son partenaire, le Paris Saint-Germain, American Express souhaite également rappeler l’importance de la diversité et de l’inclusion qui, au-delà d’un engagement historique de la marque, constituent les véritables piliers de son organisation et de l’excellence de service qu’elle s’engage à délivrer à ses clients. § En faisant le choix de valoriser au même titre les joueuses de l’équipe féminine et de l’équipe masculine du Club, c’est le pouvoir de l’intelligence plurielle et collective qu’American Express souhaite valoriser dans ce film.
