PSG: Avoid the big three
Beat Barcelona Wednesday ( 3-1), PSG failed to retain first place in Group F. While the team from the capital, which suffered during his first loss of the season, was not unworthy, but this second place puts in a perilous position before the knockout: first, because it will have to move to the back (all teams who have been on the way last season were eliminated in the round), then because it will play a group and thus is likely to fall on the three most impressive formations since the beginning of the season Real Madrid, the defending champion and author a full house in pool (6 wins out of 6, 16 goals, 2 against), Bayern, who also held despite losing on the lawn of Manchester City (3-2) and Chelsea, unbeaten in six games in an admittedly little tough group (4 wins, 2 draws) .
To a lesser degree, it is best avoided as Atletico Madrid, a finalist last season, first in his group to Juventus and still in the game in La Liga, third only four and two lengths Real and Barca. The fate he will be with Paris? If this is the case, given that the PSG can not play Monaco (two teams from the same nation can not compete in the round), the most favorable draw is clearly to fall on FC Porto bit worried in an easy group (Shakhtar, Bilbao, Borisov), but the scope of Laurent Blanc’s team and Borussia Dortmund certainly easily qualified from a group including Arsenal, Anderlecht and Galatasaray, but suffers a thousand evils in the Bundesliga (14) .dropoff window If there is a season where men take Jürgen Klopp is one …
Monaco: Not so easy …
First Surprising a group ultimately very homogeneous, AS Monaco, which will thus the advantage of receiving a return to Louis II, so she has the choice between the very spicy and moderately raised in the fourth round: in the worst case, the men of Leonardo Jardim fall on the current leader of Serie A, Juventus Paul Pogba, particularly Manchester City, which, after staring elimination, finished with a bang in the group stage is paying Bayern Munich (3-2) then by beating Roma (2-0) Wednesday night through excellent Nasri. To a lesser degree, better to avoid Arsenal certainly alternates good and bad this season but has a great European experience Monegasques clearly do not.
Besides that, three teams seem largely on the ropes to that of the Principality: Shakhtar Donetsk, FC Basel, who admittedly private Liverpool knockout round, but still affordable opponent and Schalke 04, which is at this season in the Bundesliga Leverkusen, beaten twice ASM hen … Verdict Monday.
