Of the four French clubs competing in this “new look” group phase of the Champions League, will PSG be the only one not to make it? To be humiliated on the European scene as soon as Kylian Mbappé leaves? To jeopardize the collective project advocated by Luis Enrique? Reading the rankings after the first matches of the 7th and penultimate day is still just as tough for supporters of the capital club: Paris is 26th, and is therefore virtually one of the 12 dunces who will be ejected.
9th, 10th and 11th, Brest, Monaco and Lille are, conversely, at least guaranteed to compete in the play-offs for the round of 16. A major problem for the Parisians: it is Manchester City who presents themselves at the Parc des Princes, Wednesday January 22 (9 p.m.). On paper, Pep Guardiola’s team is not much better ranked with its 24th place. But she has been much better since the holidays and has just scored a 6-0 at Ipswich.
Parisian efficiency remains a question mark at the time of this shock, of this test. Whether at the feet of Bradley Barcola or Ousmane Dembélé, or in the aerial outings of Gianluigi Donnarumma. If there is a defeat at the Parc des Princes, there will be an obligation to go and win in Stuttgart next Wednesday… while praying that the conjunction of the other results does not lead to an industrial disaster.
