Will PSG be sufficiently equipped to face the big European teams that await them in the Champions League?
Paris Saint-Germain knows
his opponents for the Champions League phase 2024/2025, under a new format. The capital club has inherited a particularly complicated draw.
According to Opta’s Power Rankings, the reigning French champion is even the least fortunate team among the 36 teams involved in the next phase of the “big-eared cup”. Dominique Severac therefore urges caution, particularly because of the particularly young average age of Luis Enrique’s squad.
Haaland at the Parc des Princes in January 2025
“PSG is probably the youngest team in the Champions League, begins by reminding the sports journalist about The L’Equipe Channel. You entrust the keys to the game to Joao Neves (19 years old), Désiré Doué (19 years old), Vitinha (24 years old), Lee Kang-In (23 years old), Barcola (21 years old). This team is young, it has no stars, it has no one in difficult moments to manage the pressure.
And Severac asks himself multiple questions: “Who will be the leader of PSG in these moments? Marquinhos? Donnarumma? When they see Haaland arrive at the Parc des Princes, will we still be lenient in the event of defeat?” It is on January 22, 2025, at 9 p.m., that the Red and Blue will welcome Manchester City and their star Norwegian striker.
