The draw for the group stage of the Champions League took place this Thursday evening in Monaco. PSG inherited a very difficult group.
This time, the Parisians are fixed. Almost six months have passed since their new European disappointment – a knockout round of last edition against Bayern Munich. But the champions of France are plunging back into the most prestigious of competitions with ambition and determination. The workforce of the capital club has been remodeled in all lines, but superstar Kylian Mbappé has remained. Around its technical leader, Paris is plunging into a new era.
The draw for this group stage of the 2023-24 Champions League took place this Thursday evening, in Monaco. 32 European teams were involved in the event. Luis Enrique’s squad was placed in Pot 1, which included all the national champions as well as Europa League winners Sevilla FC. Hat 2 was also very attractive on paper with several heavyweights, including Real Madrid or Inter Milan, finalists of the last edition. And the verdict has fallen for the Parisians.
PSG will meet heavy in the fall!
Paris Saint-Germain will be placed in Group F of this group stage with Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle. A very strong group for the champions of France, who will have to face big atmospheres. The meetings against Dortmund and Milan will certainly be the most difficult for Kylian Mbappé and his teammates, who will be keen to negotiate them well to try to clinch first place in the group and not experience a similar scenario to last season. It should be noted that Mbappé, but also and above all Dembélé, have their bearings in the den of BvB. The shocks against Milan will mark the reunion of the Hernandez brothers and the attackers of the France team with Olivier Giroud.
