On Monday, Paris Saint-Germain found out their opponent for the knockout stages of the Champions League. It will be Real Sociedad. A rather favorable draw, on paper, for the Parisians, who especially avoid many European ogres. If the Spanish club had a fantastic group stage, with 12 points in total, while finishing 1st in its group D, it is obvious that PSG is supposed to reach the quarters given the squad which was built by the Qataris.
And behind the scenes, Luis Enrique’s men also seem very happy to face Real Sociedad. To believe The Team, “the Parisian troops did not privately hide their satisfaction in recent hours.” Nothing so surprising when we know that PSG, 2nd in Group F, could have fallen on a team like Bayern Munich, Manchester City or even Atlético de Madrid. Advantage Paris, therefore, from an outside point of view, but see you in February, to see what Antoine Griezmann’s former club is really worth.
