Dreams of a chance in the Champions League finals will dim for either PSG or Man City as the two continental giants lock horns in the semi-finals. The match schedules for Wednesday at Parc des Princes with kickoff at 10 pm.
Les Parisiens managed to kick out last year’s Champions Bayern Munich on away goals to make the final four. In contrast, Manchester City secured a 4-2 aggregate to move past Borussia Dortmund to end their quarter-final losing streak.
Man City come off a well-deserved EFL Cup win over Tottenham to make it four in a row. On the other hand, PSG enjoyed a 3-1 win over Metz during the weekend.
Both PSG and Man City are definitely on top of their game and favorites to pick up the Champions League. PSG is currently second in Ligue 1, with only one point separating them from their rivals Lille. In contrast, Manchester City is two wins away from clinching the Premier League title.
A year ago, Mauricio Pochettino was in a likely position while managing to ease in the final showpiece event against Liverpool. However, the 49-year-old was left to rue as Liverpool clinched their sixth Champions League crown to extend the Lillywhites trophyless run.
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola lost a chance for a quadruple to Chelsea in the FA Cup final. However, he can salvage with a triple threat this Wednesday.
