Soccer

French Championship. PSG - Monaco. Spanish Championship. "Real Sociedad" - "Espanyol"

The upcoming 21st round of the French Ligue 1 will be interesting and for the Russian public. Teams from the top three, for which our legionnaires play, will play against each other. Alexander Golovin's Monaco, who are third, will visit Matvey Safonov's PSG, who are in the lead. The goalkeeper of the Parisian club in the middle of the week for the first time after the New Year came on the field, having played without conceding a goal in the French Cup against Le Mans (2-0). Perhaps he will play against the Monegasques, who continue to fight to get into the next Champions League, and Golovin plays a key role in their success.

European Cup draws resume for Russian legionnaires

Meanwhile, in the Spanish championship finally returned to the field after a long recovery from injury Russian midfielder Real Sociedad Arsen Zakharyan. Last 22nd round, he came on as a substitute in the 78th minute of the away match against Osasuna (1:2). This did not save the club from San Sebastian from a third consecutive defeat. Perhaps Zakharyan will help his team next weekend when they play at home against Espanyol.
