I get what you're saying about PSG being favorites to win Ligue 1, they definitely got a strong squad and all that. But you know, their performance in the Champions League hasn't been all that great, so I ain't expecting much from them this season. Gotta see how it plays out though, never know what could happen in football, am I right?
That's true because most humans can't predict how a team will go in any league, but for the Ligue 1 title I think everyone would agree that PSG are the strongest candidates for that this season. But for the Champions League which has been accompanied by a new format, it will certainly be quite difficult for any team, not just PSG. Because every team must have players who are physically fit and have a better mentality to play with a fitter condition because the new format in the UCL now is a format that is a bit physically draining for the players.
Paris Saint-Germain is a superior club in Ligue 1, so it is natural that almost everyone predicts that they will be able to become champions in Ligue 1 again. The percentage is not 100%, but when compared to other clubs, their chances of becoming champions are very high.
While in the Champions League they always have difficulty becoming champions, even their best achievement was only being runner-up and if I'm not mistaken they have only done it once. This new format will also be more troublesome, because to be in the last 16, 16 teams must go through the play-off round and only 8 clubs can automatically qualify. I don't know yet whether this benefits them or not, because in the next round it will be as usual, while they also often fail in the knockout round.
