PSG has surely inherited an affordable draw. In any case, the sentence could have been even heavier for the capital club which inherited FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. And even if hostilities have already started with the Catalan rival, Paris Saint-Germain has quite a card to play: in the event of qualification, Luis Enrique's flock will face the winner of the confrontation between Borussia Dortmund and Atlético de Madrid in the semi-final. Before thinking about it, we will obviously have to get rid of Barça which, even if far from its former glory, still has a few mischievous tricks up its sleeve.

However, Lothar Matthäus is clear: beating the Catalan club will only be a simple formality for the Parisians. In any case, this is what the 1990 Ballon d'Or said this Tuesday in the columns of Bild : “I think Paris Saint-Germain are favorites against Barcelona. All of Paris has been dreaming of the title for years, Mbappé now wants to erect a monument there. It's a good thing for the team that there is only one superstar and not as many as before. Lewandowski no longer shines at Barça as he did at Bayern, coach Xavi leaves and there is turmoil at the club. Something like this affects the team.» Response in April!
