PSG education has Adil ready for test

HAVING mixed it with superstars such as Neymar and Kylian Mbappe on a daily basis, Adil Aouchiche is unlikely to be fazed by anything Aberdeen come up against in the Europa League.

The playmaker came through the ranks at Paris Saint-Germain and rubbed shoulders with global icons in their first-team squad.

With PSG boasting an array of world-class talent, 23-year-old Aouchiche acknowledged it provided him with a footballing education that money just can’t buy.

Aouchiche only made a handful of appearances for the French giants, but it opened his eyes to the top level of the game.

He moved on to St Etienne, Lorient and Sunderland, but it’s during this current loan spell with the Dons where Aouchiche will get his first taste of European football.

While Neymar and Mbappe were more aiming at the Champions League, Aouchiche, right, will be focusing on helping Jimmy ‘Thelin’s side come away with a positive, first-leg result at Pittodrie tomorrow night in their Europa League playoff with FCSB.
