It has only been two weeks that Paris Saint-Germain succeeded in the greatest feat in its history by winning its very first Champions League. Barely time to take advantage of it that Luis Enrique's men flew a few days ago for the United States to compete in the Club World Cup. A competition where Paris is going to be eagerly awaited.
And not only by the public and the supporters, but by his opponents who intend to do everything to bring down the brand new champion. Consultant for TF1, Bixente Lizarazu warned PSG this Sunday on the set of the show “Telefoot”. “It automatically became a target. All the teams will want to type Paris Saint-Germain. »»
The task is therefore complicated for Ousmane Dembélé and his family, from the point of view of the 1998 world champion. “We will have to assume this status. Not easy because it feels like the end of the season is the Champions League. There, you reject the dice. »» And if PSG wants to do everything to go to the end in this brand new club world cup, just to have won everything, won this season, its opponents are waiting for it at the turn.
Mission even more difficult for PSG
And Bixente Lizarazu to insist again and again on this point.
“There are teams who have missed, who will want to catch up on this competition and everyone will want to type this Paris Saint-Germain team. So it will be even more difficult in my opinion. »»
A big additional pressure stroke for Gianluigi Donnarumma and his family, already victorious this year in Ligue 1, the French Cup, the Champions Trophy and therefore the C1. If they are physically still at the level, the Parisians are nonetheless among the favorites for the final victory. It will already be necessary to start the competition this Sunday evening against Atlético de Madrid (9 p.m.).
