Stuttering PSG Face Moment Of Truth In Champions League

A stuttering and entirely unconvincing Champions League campaign for Paris Saint-Germain will come to a head if they lose to Manchester City on Wednesday

A stuttering and entirely unconvincing Champions League campaign for Paris Saint-Germain will come to a head if they lose to Manchester City on Wednesday, an outcome which would leave the French club teetering on the brink of an early exit. PSG were handed what seemed like the toughest draw of any team in this new-look Champions League, with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich among their opponents before this meeting with Pep Guardiola's City at the Parc des Princes.

But a club that is one of the richest and most influential in the world game under their Qatari owners have still made a mess of things so far, even accounting for the difficulties of adapting to life without the departed Kylian Mbappe.

Beaten semi-finalists last season, the Parisians deservedly lost away to Arsenal and Bayern and succumbed to a last-gasp defeat at home to Atletico.

They were held at home by PSV Eindhoven and only beat Girona courtesy of a late own-goal.

Luis Enrique's team have scored only six goals in six games thus far, with three of those coming in the away win at a poor Red Bull Salzburg side last month.
