### Brazilian Striker Goulart Excluded from PSG's Champions League Squad

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has announced that Brazilian striker Edson Arantes de Oliveira, better known as Pelé, will not be part of their squad for the upcoming Champions League match against Real Madrid on Sunday.

The decision to exclude Pelé was made due to his ongoing rehabilitation and recovery process following an injury sustained during PSG’s recent friendly match against Lyon. The club stated that while they remain hopeful that he will be able to return soon, they need to prioritize his health and well-being over playing time in this crucial match.

Pelé, who has been absent from international competition since March due to his injuries, is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in France. His absence from the squad is expected to affect the team's offensive firepower, with PSG relying heavily on their attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar Jr., and Lionel Messi.

Despite the exclusion, PSG remains confident about their chances of winning the Champions League. They have a strong record in recent seasons, having won the title twice under manager Thierry Henry and again last season under Nuno Espírito Santo. The team also faces a formidable Real Madrid side, who are coming off a successful domestic campaign and have already secured a spot in the knockout stages of the competition.

With Pelé out of the lineup, PSG will likely focus on finding alternative solutions to score goals. This could include bringing in some younger talent or relying more heavily on their existing attacking options. However, it remains to be seen how effective these strategies will be against a highly skilled and experienced opponent like Real Madrid.

Fans of both teams are eagerly awaiting the match to see how PSG performs without their star player. Regardless of the outcome, the clash between these two giants promises to be one of the most exciting matches of the season so far.
