Didier Deschamps took stock of various subjects at the start of the year. According to the French coach, PSG will end up winning the Champions League, to the great dismay of OM.

Like almost every season since Qatar bought Paris Saint-Germain, the question of whether the Parisian club will finally win the Champions League arises. Eliminated in the round of 16 during the last two editions, Kylian Mbappé’s partners still secretly hope to be able to achieve their ultimate goal this year. If the challenge however seems very complicated, some remain convinced that one day or another, PSG will brandish “the cup with the big ears”.

This is for example the case of Didier Deschamps who was questioned on the subject during an interview given to the Sunday show Téléfoot. For the French coach, PSG’s ambition in C1 should therefore end up being crowned with success. “ Every year it’s year or never until they can win it. It’s going to happen at one point or another. This is what I wish for them. »

“The Marseillais are not going to be happy”

In his capacity as a former OM player, winner of the one and only Champions League won by a French club, Didier Deschamps was however aware that his prediction might not be very well received on the Canebière side. “ The Marseillais are not going to be happy (…) but it is important for French football “, he said with a mischievous smile. As for the draw for the eighth with a duel against Real Sociedad for PSG, the coach estimated that “ it could have been worse “.
