Inter vs PSG is a sold out affair

The match will conclude the winter training camps for both the sides.
As many as 15,000 fans are set to pack the Jassim Bin Hamad stadium, reminiscent of scenes last year when Juventus entertained Napoli in the Italian Super Coppa final.
Match organisers are eager to stress the importance of fans arriving early to get the best seat possible to enjoy this game between two of Europe’s biggest sides. The ground will be open to spectators from 5:30pm.
The sold-out fixture is set to give fans from around the GCC a footballing treat with two sides, who are currently top their domestic leagues, face off.
PSG currently have a handsome 19-point lead in Ligue 1, and they will be using their winter tour to prep for their Champions League last 16 clash against Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan have a slender one-point lead in Serie A going into the winter break. They will be looking to use the training facilities in Qatar to propel into a bigger lead going in the second half of the season.
The Nerazzurri are fighting on two fronts domestically, and will be looking to secure their first scudetto since the 2009-10 season.

PSG HEAD STRAIGHT INTO TRAINING
Paris Saint German dived straight into training after arriving in Doha. The team had their first training session at 10pm in Aspire, with the participation of all the top players, including Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The session was led by head coach Laurent Blanc, with two more sessions scheduled for yesterday.
Eight more players will join up the squad, including summer signing Angel Di Maria.
Talking about tomorrow’s friendly against Inter, Blanc said, “The match against Inter will be a way of rounding off three days of intense work in style.”
