City is a great club. But this season they seem to be having difficulties when their main players are injured. This can be seen from their last 5 matches when Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne suffered injuries. I'm afraid they won't be able to go further in the champions league this season. And for PSG I agree with what you said that they only have Mbappe as a world class striker although I also don't underestimate Dembele. But the problem at PSG is how Enrique makes collective team play because I see that currently they still only rely on one or two players in their game tactics.
To be honest, I don't really dare to speculate much about Manchester City, but it looks like Haaland's injury won't last as long as De Bruyne's. the good news is that De Bruyne is scheduled to return in January 2024. in fact, there are several rumors reporting that this December De Bryune is scheduled to rejoin the main squad. however, I cannot confirm the validity of these rumors or gossip. what is certain is that, from my point of view, Pep prefers to look for the ideal system for his squad so far. we can refer to every City match, Pep always rotates his players. plus, he always changes patterns. honestly, I don't understand what Pep wants. however, it seemed like he was preparing something. or maybe, what he implemented was not in accordance with the system and game he wanted. what is certain is that if Pep only wants to win his matches, especially in the Domestic League, he can use his core line-up. but Pep doesn't do that, he always experiments and this is what makes me a little confused about City. the point is that if the City players return from their injuries, they will be ready to slaughter the team that will be their opponent. especially for the Champions League. I really believe that Pep has the ambition to defend the Champions League title they just won last season.
Talking about PSG, I'm not sure they will go far. Maybe PSG will qualify in this phase, because their opponent is Real Sociedad. but after that, I wasn't sure. but at least, I'm sure this season the PSG club management is not targeting the Champions League Trophy. referring to the matches they have played and especially away matches, Luis Enrique's squad does not meet the criteria for me personally.
