The analysis of Peter Schmeichel, a former goalkeeper who won the Champions League with Manchester United (1999), says that the PSG team will not be able to win this trophy. For the Dane, this is a trophy that Paris Saint-Germain will hardly want win it, at least until they solve the problems they have in the defense system,
“In terms of winning the Champions League, PSG’s problem showed itself in yesterday’s game [7-2 win against Maccabi Haifa]. They were winning 4-0, suddenly the score changed to 4-2. It’s a team that needs to score a lot of goals to win games and that doesn’t always happen,” he said.
Schmeichel explains how an attacking dream trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar can turn into a defensive nightmare:
“I think PSG’s defense is terrible and that is also the fault of the attacking players. It can be seen that they help very little in defense. All other teams – Bayern, Manchester City… – attack with eleven and defend with eleven. In modern football this is essential. In matches against teams like Real Madrid or Manchester City, this can be a problem”, concluded the Dane.
