Well installed in his leadership chair in Ligue 1, the
Paris Saint-Germain struggling to confirm its promises on the European scene. Since the start of this new Champions League formula, the capital club has only won one of its four matches, the first against Girona (1-0).
Since then, Paris has conceded two defeats (against Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid) and a draw against PSV Eindhoven. On the other hand, all the lights are green in the championship. The reigning champion crushes his opponents without trembling. Latest example to date in Angers, Saturday, with a 4-2 victory.
The level of Ligue 1, a problem for Paris?
For Bixente Lizarazu, the lack of competition in Ligue 1 is detrimental for such a young squad.
“ PSG has too many qualities in Ligue 1, there is not the necessary competition to cause them problems”released the 1998 world champion on the Téléfoot show on Sunday.
“ When they arrive in the Champions League, there are much more experienced teams, much more aggressive and it is no longer the same PSG at all, continued the former defender. For the Champions League, it is an inexperienced, young team, despite a budget which is top 5 in Europe. I think there is an error there too“, concluded the 1998 world champion.
