A victory in six matches for PSG
Before the seventh day, Paris Saint-Germain is 25th and virtually the first eliminated from the competition. Their evening opponent is only one point ahead of the capital club and is in 22nd place. A surprising ranking for two clubs whose ambition is to reign over European football.
PSG currently only has two wins, one draw and three defeats in the “Big Ears Cup” this season. But since its 3-0 victory against Salzburg during its last European outing, the capital club has had a string of good performances.

-Solid leader of Ligue 1, PSG also won the Champions Trophy against Monaco and qualified for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Taking the three points of victory is a necessity for Luis Enrique’s men. A task that promises to be difficult, PSG has only won once in six meetings against the Cityzens (four defeats and a draw).
Manchester City in difficulty this season
On the other side of the Channel, Manchester City are not as dominant as in previous seasons. First on the national scene, the Cityzens have regained some color in recent days after having experienced months of November and December unprecedented in the career of their Spanish coach, Pep Guardiola (9 defeats in 14 matches in all competitions).

In Europe, the winners of the 2023 edition of the Champions League have not won any of their last three matches for a record of two wins, two draws and two defeats. Victory is therefore imperative if they want to guarantee their place in the top 24 of the ranking.
The Paris Saint-Germain-Manchester City match will kick off at 9 p.m. at the Parc des Princes. The meeting will be followed on the channels of the Canal group. On air from 7 p.m. with the Canal Champions Club, the match will be broadcast on Canal+ and Canal+ Live 1.
