Change of scenery for Paris Saint-Germain. After a quiet start against Slovan Bratislava (6-1), the capital club travels to Manchester City on Wednesday evening as part of the 2nd day of the Champions League. A real test for Luis Enrique’s men.
Opposite, the Skyblues have had a perfect start to the season in accounting terms, with eight victories in eight matches in all competitions, and a place as sole leader in the Premier League. On Sunday, Enzo Maresca’s men calmly resisted Liverpool’s disorderly attacks before punishing the Reds (0-3) after Ryan Gravenberch’s red card.
This Man City is building well, despite everything
For Pep Guardiola’s successor, everything seems to be falling into place, particularly in midfield, where the Enzo Fernandez-Elliot Anderson pair are making their mark. Up front, with a full squad at the moment, there are plenty of options. Alongside Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki, we found Iliman Ndiaye and Antoine Semenyo on Sunday. Jérémy Doku made a sensational entrance, and Phil Foden (suspended at Liverpool) can also apply.
Above all, the Manchester City team does not seem (for the moment) affected by the scandal which is shaking the club, found guilty of multiple financial offenses, and under the threat of historic sanctions. On Sunday, Anfield gave a glimpse of what could await the Skyblues in each outing, with a hostile reception to say the least. But visibly, this episode seems to strengthen the links between Enzo Maresca and his men, alone against everyone in England. And ready to move on to the reveal of Luis Enrique’s PSG?
