Champions League: the worst and the best draw for PSG
Placed in hat 1, PSG will know the identity of their opponents during the group stage of the Champions League, the draw of which will be carried out this Thursday in Istanbul (Turkey).
This is the big day. PSG and OM will know their opponents in the group stage of the Champions League this Thursday after the draw in Istanbul (Turkey). And if the Olympian club, in hat 4, can fear the worst, the champion of France can be a little more serene.
The capital club is in pot 1, ensuring it avoids clubs like Real Madrid, its executioner last season and defending champion, Manchester City or Bayern Munich and AC Milan. But he’s not immune either.
Fate could reserve him a raised hen with Liverpool, finalist last May, or Barcelona (hat 2), Inter Milan or Borussia Dortmund (hat 3) and Celtic or Glasgow Rangers (hat 4). So many formidable opponents even if, in the opposite case, these clubs would be far from happy to fall with Paris.
If it has not often been spared in recent years, the Parisian club could as well inherit a group well within its reach with RB Leipzig or Sevilla FC (hat 2), Shaktar Donetsk or Salzburg (hat 3 ) and Maccabi Haifa or Viktoria Plzen (hat 4).
But regardless of the opponents, PSG, which still dreams of being sensitive to the first Champions League, will have the objective of qualifying for the knockout stages no matter what. What he has always managed to do since the arrival of the Qataris at the head of the club.
