This Tuesday, the French and Germans will risk their lives in the second leg semi-final that will define the first finalist of the 2023/2024 UEFA Champions League.
The Parc des Princes will be the scene of a duel between the two teams that have already faced each other up to three times in this edition of the Champions League.
Borussia Dortmund arrives with a minimal advantage in the tie after the 1-0 they achieved at home, Signal Iduna Park. However, the Germans still have the bitter memory of the result of the group stage at the Parc des Princes, where they lost by a score of 2-0.
Both teams arrive with all their figures for these semifinals:
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3): Donnaruma; Achraf, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Fabián, Zaire-Emery; Dembélé, Barcola and Mbappé.

Belgian Cat Laure Resimont for the third time as Belgian Player of the Year: “A top season in all areas”
Laure Resimont had another really top season at Kangaroos Mechelen. The 26-year-old captain of the Maneblussers led her team to a third consecutive double and to the title and victory in the Belgian Cup. In the EuroCup Women, the Mechelen ladies just missed a place in the 1/8th finals of this European cup. In the women’s first division, she had a strong average of 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. She also performed strongly in Europe with an average of 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
“An individual prize is always nice. Yes, it’s my third, but the previous two were a while ago (2018, 2019). However, it is mainly because of the collective effort that I can win these prizes. We were impressive in that regard with Kangaroos Mechelen. It was a top season in all areas. We remained undefeated in Belgium this season in the league and the Belgian Cup. We were in a strong European group but were still able to qualify for the next round. Unfortunately, just shy of the 1/8th final and continuing to grow in Europe is now our next ambition,” says Laure Resimont, who will start preparing for the Olympic Games with the Belgian Cats in a few weeks.

Last year she was firmly in the Cats’ selection. She was there last summer when the Belgian Cats won historic gold at the European Championships and was also part of the selection in February when the Belgian ladies qualified for Paris in a packed Sportpaleis. She now has 64 caps with the Belgian Cats.
Three years longer at Kangaroos Mechelen
She was active in France (Tarbes) and Spain (Cadi La Seu) between 2019 and 2021 but returned to Belgium. “I play for a top Belgian club that wins prizes and wants to establish itself in Europe. That’s why I signed for three seasons,” said Laure Resimont, who succeeds fellow Belgian Cat Nastja Claessens.
Arvid Diels Coach of the Year for the fourth time
Arvid Diels, the coach of Kangaroos Mechelen who led his club to a third consecutive double, was voted Coach of the Year for the fourth time. Diels won the trophy in 2015, 2022 and 2023. Like Laure Resimont, he also signed a new three-season contract with Kangaroos Mechelen. Diels succeeds himself on the honors list.

Pauline Bayart Promise of the Year
Pauline Bayart from Waregem won the Promise of the Year trophy. The 17-year-old and 1m88 Young Cat from Waregem was good for an average of 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in the women’s first division. Bayart succeeds ex-teammate Nastja Claessens on the honors list. The Promise of the Year trophy therefore remains with Waregem. The club of coach Frederic Claessens (father of Belgian Cat Nastja Claessens, ed.) remains a breeding ground for talent in Belgian women’s basketball.

Liverpool’s captain reveals his future after Klopp’s departure
England – The Dutchman, Virgil van Dijk, captain of the Liverpool team, confirmed that he is happy to be in the ranks of the English team, and that he will be part of the expected changes in it, when the German Jurgen Klopp leaves as coach.
Jurgen Klopp announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the current season, after a period that lasted for more than 8 years in which he won a group of titles, most notably the English Premier League and the Champions League.
While there is one year remaining in Virgil van Dijk’s contract with Liverpool, the club is expected to go through a state of turmoil, after the end of Klopp’s term.
But Van Dijk said that he is happy with the club, which will enter a new era under the leadership of his compatriot Arne Slot, the Dutch coach of Feyenoord, expressing his desire to be part of the next stage.
The Reds centre-back said: “The focus is currently on the last two matches, and after that the club will focus on who will be the new coach, and there will be a change, and I will be a part of it.”
He added: “There is nothing for me to discuss. There is no news. I think the club is very busy with who will coach the team, and this is the main focus.”
The Dutch defender continued: “Like I said, I am happy here, I love the club, and you can see this too.. It has already become a big part of my life, and that is all I can say.”
Despite reaching an agreement with Feyenoord a week ago, Liverpool is in no hurry to officially announce Slot as coach of the team.
