Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Atalanta, Leverkusen, Tottenham, Sporting, Newcastle and Bilbao. The draw for the phase of the Champions League League was not Clement with Paris Saint-Germain. Besides, Opta assured that it was the most difficult draw with that of Bayern. This was already the case last season. And this was obviously noticed by Luis Enrique, the Parisian coach, who is obviously not a fan of the new formula.
“I think that at my opinion to analyze it really, being honest, I have to wait until next year, the next draw. And if I see the same thing, then the computer button does not work! »»he first joked, before being more serious. “It is important for us to know that this new format is pretty for a few teams but the 36 teams have different calendars, and the calendar is an important condition for being in the first 8. With our calendar, it will be like last year, it will be normal to lose points because there is a big level with our opponents. »»
Not happy to find Barcelona
Then the Spanish coach exposed his reasoning. “There is no easy game, no easy team in our calendar. We had a little luck in hat 2 but we took the most difficult teams in hat 1, 3 and 4. It will be difficult to be in the first 8. We can do it but it will be very difficult. This is the competition, we must accept it ”. He also mentioned his return to Barcelona, the former coach and player of the Catalan club.
“It's nice to play against Barcelona because it's my house, but I'm not happy with this draw, because it is a difficult feeling to assess”he said. As you can see, Luis Enrique is not particularly happy with the draw reserved for PSG, considered as difficult or more than that of the past season. And PSG had not moved far from an elimination in the league phase, before going to drop the Grail a few months later.
