Next in Mbappe, PSG's Champions League quest? It's Man City, but Pochettino & Co. aren't scared

When the Champions League draw was made for the quarterfinals and semifinals back on March 19, and it looked as though Paris Saint-Germain would have to beat Bayern Munich and Manchester City in order to reach the final, Kylian Mbappe told his teammates that they would do it. Of course, going against Barcelona and then the two best teams in Europe was daunting. It was the extreme opposite of last season, too, when the Parisians failed at the last hurdle after having knocked out Borussia Dortmund, Atalanta and RB Leipzig on their way to face Bayern in Lisbon.
