Paris Saint-Germain has been full of confidence before heading into its next Champions League match against Manchester City next Wednesday. Since his victory in Salzburg (3-0) on December 10, the reigning French champion has had a string of successes.
The capital club has won its last eight matches in all competitions, including the most recent against Lens this Saturday (2-1) in Ligue 1. On the other hand, the dynamic is different on the side of the Skyblues, who are still seeking to find regularity after several weeks of crisis.
PSG-City, the clash of ideas
City’s situation, however, does not seem to dampen Luis Enrique’s admiration for Pep Guardiola. During the press conference after PSG’s trip to Bollaert, the Parisian coach was very complimentary towards his citizen counterpart. And for good reason, the two men, former teammates at FC Barcelona and both on the bench of the Catalan club, share a remarkably similar playing philosophy.
“What do I have to say about Pep? His idea of football is wonderful, mine too”judged the former Spain coach. “And now, the Parc des Princes awaits us. »
Parisians will benefit from three days to refine their preparation before this crucial European meeting. For their part, the Skyblues will still have to make a trip this Sunday in the Premier League, where they will face Ipswich.
