While it was supposed to favor the European leaders, the new formula of the Champions League did not succeed at PSG. Halfway through the group stage, the capital club is in 25th placee place and is therefore virtually eliminated. And the situation is all the more worrying for the French champions as the rest of the menu promises to be very generous with Bayern Munich and Manchester City on the program.
While PSG is expected on the pitch at Bayern Munich this Tuesday evening, Opta only gives the Rouge et Bleu a 67% chance of qualifying compared to 99% in Monaco or Brest. And for Bertrand Latour, there is indeed concern regarding the confrontation against the German giant. “I am worried about our Parisian friends. It is high time to speed up the march”he confided on the set of Jour de Foot,
“It will still be a shipwreck”
On the other hand, he is more confident about qualifying for the play-off round. “For qualification, I think that PSG is still capable of beating Salzburg, I think that PSG has not yet lost its lead against Stuttgart and is not safe from a miracle against City which it seems is not that of past years”, he whispered, believing that eight or nine points could be enough to qualify. While PSG has four points after four days, the qualification bar may nevertheless be higher…
But a simple qualification for the play-offs is not enough for the former Channel journalist The Team. “However, if PSG qualifies 14eit will still be a shipwreck and we will have to take stock of Luis Enrique”, he whispered.
