Qualified for the knockout stages of the club World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain saw its painting take an unexpected turn.
This is not quite what was planned for Paris Saint-Germain. Despite his defeat against Botafogo (1-0) on the second day, the club of the capital, after his victory against Seattle (2-0), managed to finish first in his group at the Club World Cup. And his painting is not the one we could not have imagined.
In the round of 16, while the forecasts placed FC Porto in favorite ahead of Palmeiras, the Brazilian club finally preceded Inter Miami (winner of his match against Porto). It is therefore the Floridian club of Lionel Messi which will face PSG in the next round.
So then? On paper, we imagined PSG cross cross -finals the road to Chelsea, as the first of group D. It was ultimately Flamengo who took place there in the board. And the Brazilian club will have a big piece in eighth.
PSG-Bayern in quarters?
Already assured of its qualification, Bayern lost this Tuesday evening against Benfica (1-0). Andreas Schjelderup (13th) scored the only goal of the meeting for the LisBoets, and the Bavarians, despite the entrances of Michael Olise and Harry Kane at the break, did not manage to reply.
Bayern Munich is therefore landing in the PSG table part, for what would be one of the very beautiful posters of quarter -finals. Even if it is necessary to be wary of hasty forecasts, we understood it.
