Paris Saint-Germain offered the first round against Aston Villa. This Wednesday, the capital's club dominated the English club on the score of 3 goals to 1 on behalf of the quarter -first first leg of the Champions League.

Efficient on an individual and collective level, the Ile -de -France club once again impressed the various European observers. The training of Luis Enrique has been showing great things for several weeks to the point of becoming the big favorite for the final victory for some.

Consultant for TNT SPORTS, The former defender of Manchester United Rio Ferdinand was still captivated by the Parisian performance. For English, the Red and Blue stand out as the big favorites for the final victory in the Champions League.

“It looks like a team that knows how to make the most of each player, individually, but also as a collective. They dominate in one against one, but also in global mastery. For me, it is the current favorite of the competition. What they did against Liverpool on two games, the way they dominated this match against Villa … They completely controlled this confrontation. In terms of performance and authority, PSG has taken over. They enter statistics like big favorites. They completely smothered Villa. And it was my greatest fear at the break. When you play against a team like Paris, as a villa defender, you must remain completely concentrated. You cannot give them the slightest space, “ he launched.

Before continuing: The problem for Villa is that they will have to go back. And PSG loves it. As soon as there is a space, they exploit it. The 3rd goal is the perfect example. It is not even a winger who endangers him, it is the left lateral. This is a very difficult situation for Aston Villa now. It's not over, they have players capable of hurting, and an experienced coach in Europe … But this PSG is different from everything we saw in this competition. »»
