Impressive executioner of Liverpool in the round of 16 of the Champions League, PSG has marked the spirits. So much so that it is now among the main favorites for the final victory. According to the statistician Opta, the club of the capital has almost 20% chance of being crowned on May 31, and is only preceded by Barça.

His quarter -final against Aston Villa even appears for some as a simple formality for the troops of Luis Enrique. In the event of underperformance against the seventh of the Premier League, the champions of France would therefore be exposed to a very violent return of the stick.

“” Against Aston Villa, you are a favorite. Against Liverpool, you were outsider. It's much easier when you are outsider than favorite. Especially since there, if it goes bad for PSG, it will be an industrial accident, everyone will fall on him ”, Thus warned Samir Nasri in the columns of the Team, the former Gunner being nonetheless very complimentary with the Parisians.

PSG impressed Samir Nasri

“I find this PSG very impressive for loss of ball, he said. Aggressiveness, the way to recover the ball very quickly, very high … I played against the Barça de Luis Enrique, which could mark anytime with Messi, Neymar and Suarez. And I find that collectively, PSG gives off even more power. I also like his position game, with players that you suddenly ask yourself what they do there, while everything is calculated. I admire what they do. »»

And the former midfielder is not the only one to be impressed. It is the same with Youri Djorkaeff. “They are in place, everyone knows their position, which they have to do,
he said. Many players surprised me technically. DembĂ©lĂ©, we knew it was strong, barcola, gifted … We do not note enough how strong they are strong. We talk a lot about replacements, collective work … but technically it's very, very strong. »»
