PSG: The coup de grace signed by Guardiola?

PSG could well play a large part of its season during this second half of January during which the Parisian club will play its last two days of the regular season of the Champions League. A final is coming to Luis Enrique's locker room on Wednesday against Manchester City, as Pep Guardiola pointed out. The Skyblues coach is preparing a dirty trick for his compatriot Enrique.

Since the draw conceded to Auxerre (0-0) on December 6 which followed the draw against the FC Nantes (1-1) and the defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munichthe Paris Saint–Germain remains on a series of 8 victories in all competitions. Against the RC Lens last Saturday (2-1), the men of Luis Enrique avoided the Lensois trap after falling behind.

“Preparing for this final in Paris”

Now for the penultimate day of this regular season of Champions League between the Paris Saint–Germain et Manchester City au Princes Park. Last fall, the Skyblues experienced a dark streak with a string of defeats and draws. But it seems that those days are over. This is also attested by the two demonstrations in three matches of the team of Pep Guardiola (8-0 against Salford in FA Cup and 6-0 when traveling to Ipswich Sunday in Premier League). In a post-match press conference, the Spanish coach announced a pivotal match in the Champions League.

“Now we will go back and prepare for this final in Paris. In fact, we have two finals (PSG and Bruges in C1, editor's note). If we win both, we qualify. If we win one, there is a good chance too but we still have to take points because we got ourselves into trouble alone. The defeat against Sporting Portugal (1-4) and the draw against Feyenoord (3-3)? But at that time we had a lot of problems, we couldn't perform at our level. I hope to continue like this in Paris.”

“Both teams will have to win”

Attacking midfielder Pep Guardiola has Manchester City since the summer of 2017 and his transfer from‘AS Monaco, Bernardo Silva knows how PSG is a formidable team which will give them a hard time due to the delicate accounting situation in which the two clubs find themselves in League of champions : 8 points for Manchester City and 7 for the PSG. “A match with enormous intensity, because both teams will be forced to win. We have one or two points more than PSG, we didn't expect to be in this position, it's going to be a match with a lot of pressure. confided Silva has Téléfoot.
