Don't underestimate psg. They have a very strong squad, so they'll be looking to repeat last season success. Although other teams continue to improve by signing new player and changing coach, if they can't improve their game, It will be difficult for them to reach the final.

I did not underestimate PSG but I said about the fact that defending the UCL title was not as easy as maintaining a title in the domestic league. I am sure everyone will agree with my opinion even though PSG is worthy of being praised after gaining a brilliant achievement last season but only Madrid is able to defend the UCL title with their experience. And actually you underestimate the other teams when they say it is difficult for other teams to reach the final round if you cannot improve squad performance with coaches and new players. Whereas you might know who Xabi Alonso and who Guardiola is an experienced coach. So I never hesitate to say one of the teams that I mentioned will reach the final and exclude PSG. We'll see how the final results will be.

It has to be admitted that it's not easy to win the Champions League trophy back-to-back, and in fact, only a few teams have been able to do it. Nevertheless, PSG chances of repeating last season success are wide open, even though we know that Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even Liverpool will perform better this season. Essentially, the competition for the trophy will be much more competitive, as all the contenders have learned from their struggles last season.
