Paris Saint-Germain passed another UEFA Champions League test and are quickly emerging as one of the favorites to win the tournament as other favorites stumble in the quarter-finals.
On this episode of PSG Talking, Marc Damon joins me to discuss PSG's win over Aston Villa, preview the return leg, react to some Premier League snobbery, and discuss the latest developments surrounding one of PSG's potential Champions League opponents.
Up first, it's the 3-1 win over Villa at the Parc des Princes. We discuss what went wrong for PSG that led to Villa's goal and how PSG struck back with two sensational goals from Désiré Doué. We also talk about the importance of Nuno Mendes's goal late in the match and how it could be what helps PSG advance to the semi-finals.
Next, we discuss the return leg at Villa Park. Will Luis Enrique make any changes? What should be the strategy for PSG with a two-goal lead over Unai Emery's squad? How will Villa approach the match? We share our thoughts and give our score predictions for the match.
With PSG playing so many Premier League clubs this season, the debate over where PSG would finish in the league if they were a member has picked up. In a recent video from That's Football!, the hosts agreed that PSG wouldn't finish in the top four because they couldn't cope with the intensity of the English league. We give our reaction to the video and why PSG would likely compete for the Premier League title this year if given the opportunity.
We wrap up the show by discussing Real Madrid's recent struggles. After losing 3-0 to Arsenal FC in the Champions League, the La Liga side followed that up with an uninspiring performance against Alavés, in which Kylian Mbappé was sent off with a red card after a nasty challenge. Is the pressure starting to get the best of the former PSG superstar? Can Real Madrid bounce back and potentially set up a meeting with PSG in the semi-finals? We give our thoughts on the situation.
