PSG Face Tougher Manchester City Test but Victory Is Still a Must

Paris Saint-Germain have been drawn against Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

This is the second time this season they will take on English opposition in Europe’s elite club competition, but this tie will be much different.

Last Sunday, the Parisians secured their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title—their sixth of all time—with the 9-0 demolition of Troyes at the Stade de l’Aube, leading to more suggestions that the French league is weak, playing down the accomplishments of Laurent Blanc’s side.

PSG are 18 points better off than where they were this time last season.
