Notes:

Ancelotti is pretty much the manager of PSG, as this will be the first time he will play against us aside from the United States tour in which we faced him with his Chelsea team.

Hoping to see Ely, Carmona (barca youth), Piscatelli, SES92, De Sciglio, Valoti and Pippo.

Hoping not see? Danielle Boneheadera.

Edit: Just noticed Gattuso is fit for the game.

have you ever seen R.Ely play? If you have , could you tell me if he could play on the flanks? left back in particular

I've seen him only once,it was with us on pre-season,he looked really good defensively.ely was playing as a RB,not sure he can play lB

i see.. i always had the idea he was a CB. is it? cause i forgot where he plays

He is a cb,but he was playing as a rb in that game for some reason

I didn't personally see Ely's game but I read that he blew hot and cold in pre-season

But that was MONTHS ago, i'm sure a player as talented him was just going through a dip in form

well , wish i could agree. I must see him play at least one time. I really hope Allegri plays him so i can tell. Talent alone though is not enough , he must be physicaly strong enough and good tactical.

Ancelotti is now officially the PSG coach.

CARLO ANCELOTTI’S first game as Paris Saint-Germain’s manager will be against his beloved Milan.

Ancelotti made history with Milan, winning a Scudetto and two Champions League titles and on January 4th, he will be facing the very same Milan – with Allegri on the bench – with his Paris Saint-Germain.

The Italian was appointed PSG coach on Friday and the Emirates Challenge sees Milan, who won the Challenge last year, facing Carletto’s new team, and it is strange for the former Chelsea and Juve coach.


“It will be strange to play against Milan in my first match as the coach of PSG. I have great memories of my time at Milan, where I have many friends,” said Ancelotti, who watched Milan play a lot this season as he worked for Sky Sport Italia before making the move to Les Parisiens and is a big fan of the Rossoneri.

Another PSG man, who is a fan of Milan, is the highly-rated and sought-after Mamadou Sakho. “Milan are my favorite team. Every weekend I check the Serie A results to see how Milan did,” he said. “Milan have really great players, like Seedorf, Ibra, Pato, Silva, and Nesta is a great champion, just look at his career.”

The game takes place on January 4th, at the Al-Rashid Stadium; the kickoff is 16:30 CET (19:30 local).

i cant wait :dance:

Patogol!!! assist by Ibra

Turned the game on for a bit, is Milan even playing? Its like a training it seems, Ibra made 20m walk in last 10 minutes, Nocerino only one who seems to give a shit, and my oh my Taiwo looks a headless chicken.
