In a very poor position before hosting Bayern Munich for the 5th day of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain still has great ambitions in C1.
Next Tuesday, on the lawn of the Allianz Arena in Munich, the club from the French capital will play a large part of its European future. Relegated to 25th place in the new league phase of the Big Ears Cup, outside the qualifying places for the play-offs, Paris no longer has the right to make mistakes. Having already fallen against Arsenal in October (0-2) and more recently against Atlético de Madrid at the Parc (1-2), PSG must bring back points from its trip to Bayern, which is not either no longer in a good position. With their backs against the wall, Luis Enrique's men will have no choice anyway if they want to continue to aim to win the Champions League in 2025. In any case, this remains the will of Marquinhos, the captain of PSG.
“PSG is on the right path”
“Win the Champions League? We will try every year. You have to believe it. It’s the terrain that speaks. We have seen how it is very difficult, a season is long, this competition is demanding. PSG is on the right path to go the furthest and fight with the big guys. From this year? My teammates are always the best in the world for me. My club is still the best in the world. We can do beautiful things. But we have to face the truth, we now only have finals to play in the Champions League, because we are in difficulty in the standings. We feel like a united group, a strong group. We will fight for all our goals”launched the Brazilian defender on RMC Sport.
By displaying high ambition, Marquinhos is in any case not going in the same direction as his president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who believes that winning the C1 is “not a goal” this year for PSG. Also a way to take some pressure off Luis Enrique's group before the crucial match against Bayern.
