Paris Saint-Germain have won three times in as many Champions League matches this season. First against Atalanta (4-0), then against FC Barcelona (2-1) with a reshuffled team, and finally this Wednesday by beating Bayer Leverkusen (7-2).
Well before this offensive festival of the champion of France and Europe in Germany, the question was already being asked. Which teams could compete with Luis Enrique's gang? On the set ofAfter Foot Tuesday evening, Daniel Riolo spoke of the superiority of the Rouge et Bleu.
“The back-to-back, I’m not far from signing it”
“I'm trying to understand which other teams in Europe can raise their level to that height. Three weeks ago, we saw that PSG went to win in Barcelona with a B team. Bayern made a strong impression on me”confided the editorialist, aware that all scenarios remain possible. “ We have to try not to get too carried away, we have to remember that Liverpool last year at the same time were marching on everyone, it was a massacre. They finished the league phase first, they were favorites and fell to PSG in the round of 16.”
For Riolo, PSG remains the big favorite of the competition for the moment. “We know that things can happen in the two-way matches, but here, today, give me a pen because the back-to-back, I am not far from signing it. In any case I have the pen in my hand (…) 7-2, it’s a crazy score all the same! We have the impression that we don’t even measure…”concluded the polemicist.
