In the upcoming UEFA Europa League thriller in the early hours of Thursday morning, Newcastle's clash with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is highly anticipated. While goalscorers such as Kylian Mbappe are the stars of the show, it's the two right-backs, Djebia and Ashraf, who may be the real stars of this marquee matchup. With their recent hot form and assisting prowess, they may be the "key men" in this matchup that decides the game.
Although Jebbia has reached the age of 33, he still maintains a high level of motivation and excellent form. In the recent Premier League matches, he contributed two consecutive key assists, including an "assist triple" against Saffron United. The England international is not only an accurate passer, but also good at handling penalty kicks. Facing the powerful PSG, Newcastle will not only need to organize their tactics, but also rely on set-piece tactics to create scoring chances if they want to launch an effective attack, and Jiebia will undoubtedly play a key role in that.
