Paris Saint-Germain won its first Champions League on Saturday, beating Inter Milan (5-0) in the final. With one of the youngest workforce in the European plateau, the capital's club can aim for another success in the Reine competition, from next season.

But keeping your crown, even chaining several coronations in C1, does not promise to be a health walk. This is in any case the opinion of Daniel Riolo. For the journalist of RMCcompetition will be even more fierce next year. He also took the opportunity to recall that in LDC, everything is often played with small details, which explains why few teams manage to align several consecutive titles.

A new status for PSG

“Competition in Europe is tough. The others will strengthen, and there is no reason why they do not use the PSG example to start working well. There is also the unpredictable in this raised competition, as we saw this year with PSG. Against Liverpool, it goes to penalties, against Aston Villa on a deviated strike or not. That you were superior this season, it is indisputable. That you have progressed, that you are strong and that you deserve the title, agree. But to say that you are going to do a domination … There is not a lot that have chained, Ajax, Bayern, Nottingham Forest, Milan but not Barça de Pep Guardiola for example, then we arrive at Real Madrid in Zidane “said the columnist for theAfter football.

Daniel Riolo stresses, however, that PSG has gained legitimacy, and that a bad start in the league phase would no longer weigh as much on the perception of its chances. “May Parisians be pretending at the start next year thanks to this performance, yes. If the first results are not good in the group stage, this time, nobody will say that they cannot reverse the trend ”he concluded.
