PSG is no weight in the Champions League – Sports.fr

Opposed to Barça Wednesday in the quarterfinals go the Champions League, PSG is not the best equipped team to win the event this year according to Football Observatory, based on a statistical study to Real Madrid his favorite.

Winner of the League Cup last Sunday qualified for the final of the Coupe de France scheduled May 30 against Auxerre and Ligue 1 leaders at the start of the final sprint, the Paris Saint Germain pretty well on track to achieve the treble this season. But the ambition of the Parisian club does not stop there. The men of Laurent Blanc, who will receive the Barça on Wednesday in the quarterfinals to go, hope to actually go as far as possible in the Champions League.

From there to win the most prestigious European competitions? The Observatory Football is rather skeptical. In its monthly letter of April, the research group of the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) is not in fact the capital club his favorite. Three types of indicators were taken into account to make a point about the forces at work: the experience of players available, stable staffing and recruitment

And this little game. The outgoing winner, Real Madrid, still has an edge over its competitors with a 27% chance of winning before the future opponent of the Parisian club, FC Barcelona (22%) and Bayern Munich (13%). PSG came in fourth (13%), ahead of Juventus (8%), AS Monaco (6%), Atletico Madrid (5%) and FC Porto (3%).

Statistics that are not necessarily favorable to the French clubs, but the Observatory of football does not mean forgetting to specify that “the beauty of the sport, and football, as is its unpredictability” . As proof, the research organization based in Switzerland had made Spain his favorite of the last World Cup, when the men of Vicente Del Bosque were eliminated in the first round. As for the LOSC, he had a good chance of finishing second in Ligue 1 this season, behind PSG. Rather compromise for the Great Danes, currently eighth in the standings.
