“We want more” (we want more) proclaims the slogan in English PSG before his quarter-final at Parc des Princes, where peak some enthusiasm to the idea of battling a another customer of the Premier League, a month after having driven out of Europe Chelsea (2-1, 2-1), his best European enemy.
Especially, Paris, spared by the draw that could have been book Barca, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, knows he has a golden opportunity not, it would be dangerously underestimated City, but honest to pass a course in the C1. As in a mirror, it’s more or less the same thought that must cross the minds of Citizens to the idea of facing Paris, even if they lack experience at this level since they will play their first quarter-final.
Yet City passed under the flag in Abu Dhabi in 2008, three years before the Qatar buys in turn the capital club. And quickly, each of these SWFs tirelessly to make their club a stronghold of the continental stage, with common and ultimate goal in the Champions League.
– City spent twice –
the investment fund ADUG (Abu Dhabi United Group), Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed property of al-Nahyan, has already exceeded one billion euros (1.035) purchase of players, while QSI (Qatar Sports investments) property of the Emir Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, spent half (EUR 558.5 million).
This megalomania, never offset by big sales, brought in spring 2014 both of these emerging powers in the grip of the financial fair play, which requires a balanced budget at the end of each year. But in just one season, City and Paris played good students, balancing their accounts to better succeed in the transfer market, buying Kevin de Bruyne respectively (74 million EUR) and Angel Di Maria (EUR 63 million) .
all, generating high income. According to the latest report from Deloitte, the PSG expansion policy is a little more successful because it is the 4th in the ranking of European clubs with 480.8 million EUR gleaned, Manchester City is sixth with EUR 463.5 million harvested in 2014-2015. In detail, the Parisian trade gains amounted to EUR 297 million against EUR 228.5 million at City.
– Paris still without Verratti –
If both clubs are very close to their business model, however , in sport, the advantage goes to Paris, which combines almost five seasons four league titles in France, two sections of the League, a cutting France, three champions Trophies. The Citizens, who face domestic competition raised far more than that encountered by Parisians in France, they won two league titles in England, a Cup, two cups of English League and Community Shield in almost eight seasons.
PSG intends to increase the lead in the champions League, every fantasy land. Already crowned in L1, it appears more reinforced the collective level, despite the crimes of Marco Verratti and Javier Pastore. Car City should he, do without Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany and Raheem Sterling.
Still, the team of Manuel Pellegrini has an intimidating strike force with the quartet Navas-Silva-De Bruyne-Aguero. And, as such, Laurent Blanc stressed the importance, “for once-elimination (of) not to concede a goal at Parc des Princes.” A
Paris so well defended and Zlatan Ibrahimovic – under the threat of suspension if booked received, like David Luiz and Blaise Matuidi – to confirm his current sparkling form. For a semi-final qualification depends largely on the goals and assists Swedish Angel Di Maria.
