Verratti admits under-pressure PSG are 'obliged' to win Coupe de la Ligue final against Monaco

The PSG midfielder is feeling the heat ahead of the club's Coupe de la Ligue final against Monaco

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti admits they are under a lot of pressure to win the Coupe de la Ligue, even though he thinks some criticism of the team has been unjust.

Unai Emery's side are aiming to win a third domestic treble in four seasons and will take the first step towards that goal against Monaco on Saturday in Bordeaux.

Victory in that final will also give them a fifth Coupe de la Ligue triumph in a row, but speculation persists that Emery will be moved on at the end of the season due to their failure to get past Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16.
