“I want to get as much playing time as possible. That’s why another loan move is a good option for me. I will give it everything everyday and work hard to help the team achieve its goals. Then I can return to FCA in the summer and give it full throttle,” explained Koudossou.

“They (PSG) need at least one goal to level it up. I expect them to apply a lot of pressure from the start,” said Nagelsmann. “In Ligue 1, they often defend deep and play on the counter-attack. Their style of play also depends on who’s fit and can play.”

Alexander Rosen immediately objects to this figurative wording, however. “We certainly won’t be hiding Benni behind the computer and in offices. He won’t be shielded here,” announced the TSG managing director with a grin, hinting at an intensified approach. “Benni is set to go through various divisions and therefore gain as many insights into the departments as possible in order to gain important knowledge and skills for his professional future during his practical training,” Rosen explained. The TSG academy – which Alexander Rosen, who once started out at TSG as the head of the youth development centre, describes as the “heart of our club” – will also have a central role to play.

Union secured a vital three points in Haifa on Thursday night to book a winner-takes-all battle with Slavia Prague on the final matchday of Group E in the UEFA Europa Conference League. A strong, composed Union performance in Israel was capped off by Julian Ryerson’s header on 66 minutes to clinch the points and give the Bundesliga side a chance of qualification for the knockout rounds.

For Leicester, keeping hold of these sorts of players could be a problem. Indeed, they’re 13th in the league and looked like they could’ve been battling relegation at the start of the season.

The final venue: Contrary to the original plans, the match at 11:00 CET on Sunday 23 April will not take place at the Bruchwegstadion but at the Mewa-Arena in Mainz. BVB fans can order tickets via the FSV Mainz 05 Ticket Shop. The home side are expecting around 15,000 spectators. BVB set the attendance record for a final in 2017. 33,400 spectators came along that day to see the final against Bayern Munich, which the Black & Yellows won via a penalty shootout.

FCA made a bright start to the contest and took the lead in the 5th minute through central defender Frederik Winther. Despite Kufstein goalkeeper Luca Savoldelli’s best efforts, the Fuggerstädter pushed on as the half progressed. Sven Michel made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute, before Ruben Vargas added another just 5 minutes later (28’).

It was almost a lazy, cruise-controlled win, but Bayern Munich had to go and ruin it by conceding a late goal and then almost falling apart against VfB Stuttgart. The signs are promising ahead of the crucial Champions League game vs PSG, however as noted by the coach and Goretzka, Bayern need to work on closing out the game.
