PSG stands a chance to redeem themselves for the last season’s Champions League at the hands of Manchester City this week. The match schedules for Tuesday in Group A at the Parc des Princes with kickoff at 10 pm.
Both sides come off triumphant weekend victories in their respective leagues. PSG registered their third straight win in Ligue 1 with a 2-0 win over Montpellier. On the other hand, Man City blocked Chelsea’s winning form with a 1-0 win.
The three stars of Paris Saint-Germain – Lionel Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar – finally got together to play for their team in the Champions League. However, they were not able as Club Brugge defeated them with two goals by halftime and advanced despite PSG’s efforts at an equalizer.
The opening-day draw with Brugge has been a huge obstacle for PSG, who will now face four other games this season where they have failed to score at least twice. The Les Parisiens side looks like it’s going to be one tough run.
On the other hand, Manchester City proved their title defense fight on Saturday after topping Chelsea in a 1-0 win at lunchtime. Gabriel Jesus’ deflected effort gave the Citizens their first victory over the Blues after four encounters.
Furthermore, Pep Guardiola showed his supremacy in Group A after a 6-3 win over RB Leipzig last week. Furthermore, City is unbeaten in their last ten Champions League games.
