Gerard Hammered was the big novelty of the list of summoned of Ronald Koeman against Paris Saint-Germain. The central, after training the last days with normality beside the rest of the group, received the high medical and could go in in the announcement. Nevertheless, his presence in the eleven initial was an incógnita and expected that it split from the bench in the duel in front of the Parisians.
However, Ronald Koeman surprised to almost all the world with his alignment for the gone of the eighth of final of this Champions League. The trainer barcelonista, that left to fall in press conference that the defender had the same options to play that any one of his mates, decided to bet by him and did not doubt in taking out him of start in spite of his long recovery after his injury of knee.
The technician of Zaandam opted for planting to Gerard at the side of Clément Lenglet in the centre of the defence to confront to the Parisians. The big victim by the return of the Barcelonan was Óscar Mingueza, that aimed to begin of start by the drop of Ronald Araújo and the little shooting that carried Hammered. But at the end, the Dutch has not wanted to go to the safe and has preferred to risk with the '3' by the importance of the party.
With the turn of the ex international Spanish, Koeman could at last range to the theoretical alignment of gala of the Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dest, Hammered, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Frenkie of Jong, Pedri; Dembélé, Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann. With the doubts of Sergi Roberto by Sergiño and Araújo by Lenglet, this eleven could be considered perfectly the favourite of the trainer blaugrana with the current staff.
Once they are recovered the one of Reus and the Uruguayan will see if the míster barcelonista prefers them to them or decants by Clément and Dest. In these moments, studying the performance of all they, the only certainty seems to be that the charrúa will finish being headline beside Gerard. His level before the injury was between the best of LaLiga and won the place above the French. Between Sergi and Sergiño, instead, the decision could be more complicated.
I hammered it has hammered to play in front of the PSG
It is necessary to stand out how has worked Hammered since lesionó to finals of November of 2020. The canterano of the Barça, that chose a conservative treatment and descartó operate to be able to go back what before, has hammered since and has not been able to do the better things. These last weeks, when it saw that it was in the final period of his recovery, tightened even more to play in front of the PSG and finally has finished it achieving.
