RB Leipzig faces Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 18h at Estádio da Luz (Lisbon)
Nagelsmann’s Leipzig showed excellent physical preparation coupled with high speeds in the match with Atlético. In the end, it managed to score the winning goal with the feet of Stefan Savic. PSG is seen as a more serious rival only on paper, but in fact, the Parisians gain results due to the individual skills of Mbappe and Neymar. Nagelsmann's system of the game with high pressure, no matter how well Tuchel understands it, is very inconvenient for the French club, and if the Bulls run furiously in the first half of the meeting, they definitely should not lose to PSG at the beginning.

Oddly enough, the Parisians advanced further due to their character, but Neymar didn’t convert many attempts, while the defense of Atalanta screwed up with enviable regularity. As a result, PSG's 2-1 advantage and 2 goals scored to the net of Atalanta came from the logic of the game, because the Goddess sat back on heels by the 60th minute. Leipzig is an improved Atalanta, which can cause problems to PSG due to a smarter game system. Upamecano in the center of defense is not Toloi or De Ron, so Tuchel's men will have a very difficult time.
There was one friendly match in 2014, and the Bulls won with a 4-2 score. Nevertheless, it has nothing to do with the current reality. I note that the relative drowsiness of PSG players is in favor of the "non-defeat" of Leipzig in the first half. Leipzig, which arranges full-scale high pressure at the beginning of the game, is unlikely to lose in the first half.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with +0.5 handicap in the first half
