This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain will face a crucial meeting of its season, with the clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. And for Daniel Riolo, the Parisian club should not have found itself in this very delicate situation, given its schedule in the European competition.
With only one victory since the start of the Champions Leaguethe PSG is almost doomed to victory. But the task does not look simple, since the men of Luis Enrique will cross paths with a Bayern Munich who is also aiming for a victory to continue dreaming of qualification for the rest of the competition.
“You had to get to 16, if you took 4, you could aim for the top 8”
This situation seems to annoy the most Daniel Riolowho gave free rein to his frustration at the microphone of RMC Sport. « PSG had Girona, PSV, Salzburg, Stuttgart in its calendar. These 4 teams, 4×3 12, logically allow you to save at least the playoff, at 12 points. If you add against the big guys, Bayern, Atlético, City and Arsenal, you had to reach 16, if you took 4, you could aim for the top 8. For a club like PSG, with its means, its recent history in the competition, it was something that was totally normal » declared the journalist and editorialist of RMC Sport.
“I think it’s a huge rant”
« Since 2013, PSG has always been top 16 minimum and half the time 8. And there, top 24, it's not possible, or it seems complicated, or it wouldn't be dramatic not to. be » continued Daniel Rioloin theAfter Foot. « It was the same coach last year and 80% of the squad was present and the club strengthened in the middle, in defense and a little less up front. And there, we seem to be saying that it is not necessarily serious and that it could almost be admitted because it is in a project. I think it's a huge rant, which is causing a split within the PSG family, the supporters ».
