After five contested days (out of eight) in this new formula of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain is in more than a bad position. This Tuesday evening’s shock against Bayern Munich looked like the last chance for the Parisians to reach the top 8 of this first phase and therefore move directly to the round of 16.
But after its defeat at the Allianz Arena (1-0), the capital club (4 points, 26th) is not even certain of appearing among the first 24 teams (out of 36) and therefore of competing in a play-off ( from 9th to 24th) to then reach 8th. Especially since the last three European games do not promise to be simple: two trips to Salzburg (Tuesday December 10) and Stuttgart (January 29) interrupted by the reception of Manchester City (January 22).
“Important that he does not lose against Paris”
Also in a delicate position before hosting PSG, the Bavarian club gave itself a little breathing room and is back on the edge of the top 10 (9 points, 11th) before the matches this Wednesday evening. Consultant for the Canal + show “Champions Club”, Samir Nasri did not fail to congratulate Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, with whom he played at Manchester City for five seasons (2011-2016) then Anderlecht (2019). -2020) and visibly shares the love of the same club.
“I have no questions for Vincent Kompany. I just want to congratulate him, Vincent is an OM supporter and it was important that he did not lose against Paris“, launched the former Marseille midfielder. An intervention which pleased the Olympic faithful, who were quick to share it on social networks.
