PSG will face Bayern Munich in the knockout stages of the Champions League with a first leg scheduled at the Parc des Princes next February.
Asked in the wake of this draw made this Monday noon in Nyon, Switzerland, Luis Campos admitted that he had prepared certain executives for the possibility of finding the German club. “When I saw the studies of some mathematicians, I understood that it was a high probability, I had spoken about it with some players after the match in Turin”recognized the sports adviser of the Parisian club before delivering a message full of optimism. “It will be two big games between two very big teams in European football. We are very confident and positive. We will be able to play two great matches to progress to the quarter-finals. For us, it’s a great opportunity to show a good demonstration to Europe and to the world that we are the best team in the world. We have a great coach, great players, we play well”he continued.
What transfer window for PSG?
If this draw is clearly delicate for the champion of France, it should be remembered that this double confrontation will take place in more than 100 days. It is therefore difficult to draw hasty conclusions at this stage of the season. Asked about the possibility of seeing reinforcements land in the French capital in January, Campos did not close the door. “The World Cup conditions our studies on the transfer window a lot (…) We are ready for everything that can happen in the world for after, if necessary go to the winter transfer window”dropped Campos.

Bayern received 6 out of 6!
Even if the Parisian club has often mistreated the German club in recent seasons on the European scene, the painful memory of the C1 final lost in 2020 is still very present in the heads of the supporters. Still as formidable in the Champions League, Bayern Munich is the only team to have won all its matches in the group stage despite the presence of Inter Milan and FC Barcelona.
