Slovan of Yaya Touré suffers another setback before PSG clash

The Slovan Bratislava side coached by Yaya Touré has arrived in a tough mood for its Champions League meeting with PSG after slipping in the league on Saturday. The team was beaten 0-2 by Dunajska Streda, and the result extends its troubling run: it is their second consecutive league defeat, something the club hadn’t seen in regular competition since April 2017, according to L'Équipe.

The timing matters. As the European match approaches, Touré made changes for the domestic game, with L'Équipe noting he left some key players resting for the Niké Liga fixture.

A two-loss streak

This setback follows another disappointment right after the team’s continental breakthrough. After getting Slovan into the Champions League, the coach is now experiencing early turbulence on the bench for the Slovak champions.

PSG’s own shaky start

L'Équipe also underlines that PSG is not exactly in full flow either. In Ligue 1, the defending European champions currently have 2 points from 3 matches. Still, the match-up comes with plenty riding on it: PSG will travel to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday (21:00, as stated by the outlet), facing a Slovan squad that will want to reset quickly.
