PSG are playing the biggest game of their season on Wednesday night against Man City at Parc Des Princes. The game is crucial for both sides for different reasons. Man City's case is unique as they need to get their season back on track especially after having an underwhelming league campaign so far. What's more they have underwhelmed so far in the Champions League losing to the likes of Sporting Lisbon and Juventus and surrendering a three goal lead at home to Feyenoord. Here at PSG Post we elaborate on why the game tomorrow is the biggest of the campaign thus far for Les Parisens.
Like Man City they have had an appalling Champions League campaign so far
They have lost several times in this league phase but that is mostly down to the tough opposition they have faced. The French champions have been defeated by Arsenal away, Atletico at home and Bayern Munich away. This has left them 26th on the table one point behind the teams who will have another chance at qualifying for the next phase of the tournament. To make matters more intriguing Man City are 24th in the table only a point ahead of Luis Enrique's side. This has made tomorrow's game even more important as neither side can afford to lose.
The Champions League is the trophy they have wanted the most under the Qatari ownership
Les Parisens have been on the haunt for winning the Champions League ever since the Qatari owners took over in 2012. The closest they have come is getting to the final in 2020 where they were narrowly defeated by Bayern Munich. It is looking unlikely this year unless they win the last two games and results go there way. The French champions were unfortunate enough to have the hardest group stage opponents in the league phase but they didn't make life easier for themselves getting rid of Kylian Mbappe and not replacing him with someone who is equally as good. The false nine system has also proven to be in effective as they have missed chances in some games due to not having a natural number nine. They should give Goncalo Ramos more chances this season as he could prove to be the answer they have to any number nine issue.
