The coronation of PSG last season in the Champions League was a major surprise, especially in England.
While this week takes place the second day of the Champions League League phase, European Cadors, which are lagging behind in the Champions, can remain optimistic. PSG has shown the past season that a bad start was by no means unacceptable.
After five days in the league phase, the champions of France only displayed four points and were not in the nails to qualify, if only for the tour of the dams. By chaining three successes of rank to finish this first phase, including a stunning victory against Manchester City, PSG finally managed to force its path and win its ticket for the dams.
A new adventure started and after a kind appetizer against the Brest stadium, PSG disgusted England, successively eliminating Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal before finished in apotheosis against Inter Milan. The Parisians’ journey necessarily marked the spirits across the Channel, notably Scott Minto, former defender of Charlton, Chelsea, Benfica and West Ham.

“Beat City, Liverpool (0-1; 1-0, 4-1 in the TAB in the round of 16), Aston Villa (3-1, 2-3 in the quarterfinals) and Arsenal (1-0, 2-1 in the semi-finals): they were the best Premier League teams when they eliminated them. So yes, they really impressed us last season, he added. And above all, there is the way they imposed themselves, the style of play practiced. Luis Enrique is, like Pep, in the Barça style. It was brilliant. »»
