Champions League: PSG and Paris FC must bounce back, OL to confirm – Eurosport

Not OL wants to: if Wendie Renard’s team, the most successful in the history of the Champions League, started its 2023-2024 campaign with a 9-0 against Slavia Prague, PSG fell in Amsterdam and Paris FC at home against Hacken (2-1), opponents who seemed within reach of the two Parisian clubs. The three French representatives in C1 will therefore have different pressure on their shoulders this week. At the Groupama Stadium, Lyon can put on a new demonstration against the Austrians of St. Pölten, beaten by Brann at home on the first day.

Last in its group after its disillusionment with the most affordable opponent in the group, a group of death which also includes AS Rome, PSG is already playing a quasi-decisive match at home against German champion Bayern . The Parc des Princes welcoming another poster, that of the men’s PSG against Monaco in Ligue 1 on Friday, it is at the neighboring Jean Bouin stadium that the clash will take place – the rugby players from the Stade français are traveling to Pau this weekend, their 20,000-seat den was free.

In the meantime, last weekend PSG was not really reassured by winning at the very end of added time thanks to Marie-Antoinette Katoto to win 2-1 against Fleury. After also achieving a narrow victory against Bordeaux (1-0), the PFC will play big on Thursday at Chelsea. But these Parisians are still new to C1: they are participating in their first group phase since 2017 and the merger with FCF Juvisy.

The teammates of Gaëtane Thiney, 38, want to believe in a new feat after eliminating Arsenal and Wolfsburg in the preliminary rounds. The situation in French D1 is symbolic of the order established between the three “Europeans”: OL, first, is undefeated and has already beaten PSG (1-0) and PFC (6-1). Apart from these defeats against the ogre Lyon, the two Parisian clubs have won all their other matches.
