PSG vs Man City: Preview
This is a massive game for both PSG and Manchester City, with both sides facing the prospect of bowing out of the Champions League at the opening league phase. For clubs underpinned by so much wealth – Qatari backers in the case of PSG, Abu Dhabi for Man City – that would be a major embarrassment. There's a lot at stake.
Of the 36 teams that make up this new-look league phase, Man City lie 22nd and PSG 25th in the table. With six out of the eight games played, it's highly unlikely that either side can qualify automatically for the knockout phase as one of the top eight teams. Instead, they'll be relying on a play-off place as one of the teams ranked 9th to 24th. If they finish any lower than that, they'll crash out completely after the eighth and final game.
Man City have arrested their outright crisis, in which they lost an unprecedented number of games under manager Pep Guardiola, but they're far from being back to their best, even if they thumped Ipswich in the Premier League at the weekend. They've left themselves with work to do in the Champions League – after early wins over Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Prague they lost to Sporting Lisbon and Juventus either side of a damaging draw with Feyenoord.
As for PSG, they're top of Ligue 1 in France but are enduring another tough campaign in the Champions League, where they have fallen short so often despite their owners' desperation to lift the trophy. They beat RB Salzburg last time out, and Girona in the first week, but they have been handed a nightmare draw of fixtures, losing to Arsenal, Atlético Madrid, and Bayern Munich.
The quality of those clubs will give them confidence they're not far off the pace, and while Man City represents another cruel draw, they will smell blood given the lack of confidence surrounding City right now.
