This is one of the meetings that everyone is waiting for in January 2025. Paris Saint-Germain will host Manchester City on January 22 as part of the 7th day of the first phase of the Champions League.
22nd in the standings with 8 points on the clock, the Mancunian club is in danger in this Champions League just like Paris Saint-Germain. Aware of his team's difficulties, Pep Guardiola wants to limit the damage at the Parc des Princes.
“The goal is to be a barrage. To do this, we will have to bring back a point from Paris and win the last match at home,” he declared in a post-match press conference.
PSG is doing quite well against Manchester City which leads in direct confrontations (4 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat). However, the last confrontation at the Parc des Princes between the two teams turned in favor of the Parisians with a score of 2 goals to 0 during the group stage of the 2021-2022 edition. Idrissa Gueye and Lionel Messi had found the path to goal in the Parisian ranks.
This game will also be a shock on the sidelines between Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique. The balance sheet is very close between the two men who cannot decide between themselves. In 4 matches, the two coaches each won 2 matches.
