Just a few days left before the kick-off of the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League quarter-final match scheduled for Wednesday 12 August at 21 CEST at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Lisbon against Paris Saint-Germain, who on Friday 31 July completed their national treble. After winning the league and the thirteenth French Cup in their history by beating 1-0 St-Étienne in the final on 24 July, PSG also lifted their ninth League Cup after beating Lyon on penalties at the end of a very tight final: no goals between regulation and extra time, then from the spot Thomas Tuchel’s team were more precise and won with a score of 6-5. Pablo Sarabia’s converted penalty and Keylor Navas’s save on Bertrand Traorè were decisive. After the cups, the French side faced Sochaux in a friendly match on Wednesday 29 July, winning 1-0 (goal by Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting) and rehearsing for the Champions League match.
