Paris Saint-Germain’s inaugural visit to Japan will conclude with a match against Gamba Osaka which will be held at the Panasonic Stadium Suita, Monday 25 July 2022 starting kick-off at 11:00 BST. After that, Lionel Messi and his teammates must prepare to face Nantes for the Trophee des Champions title next weekend.
Together with their new coach, Christophe Galtier, Paris SG have played three friendly matches as a warm-up for the new season. Les Parisiens successfully carved consecutive wins over Quevilly Rouen, Kawasaki Frontale, and Urawa Reds by scoring a total of seven goals and conceding only one.
Among MNM’s attacking trio – Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe – only Neymar has yet to score a goal on this year’s pre-season tour of Japan. The Brazilian footballer was in action throughout the first half against Kawasaki Frontale, and came on to the pitch midway through the second half against Urawa Red.
After not being involved in the line-up against Urawa Red, it is expected that Messi and Neymar will return to the field from the start against Gamba Osaka. Moreover, Galtier has only four friendlies in pre-season to find the right squad combination before PSG enter the new season.
Meanwhile, Gamba Osaka has not managed to show their best game by failing to win in the last five matches, even having to lose in a row in their last four matches. This negative record keeps the Nerazzurri stuck in 16th place in the J-League standings, only two points ahead of Jubilo Iwata who occupies the bottom of the standings.
For that, a victory over one of the giants in Europe is needed by the Nerazzurri to increase his confidence. Unfortunately, to contain the attack of the MNM trio, coach Tomohiro Katanosaka was unable to involve Kwon Kyung-Won in defense after suffering an injury against Cerezo Osaka in mid-July.
