If they give their full effort in Ligue 1, winning the Ligue 1 title is not a difficult task for PSG. But the problem is that PSG will try to win the Champions League title this season as well. And the most important thing is that most of PSG's opponents in the first round of the Champions League are very strong. Atalanta, Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Leverkusen, Sporting, Barcelona and Newcastle, which team will we call weak? Every team is very strong. No other team will face such a strong opponent in all matches. So getting through the first round is now a big challenge for PSG. So I will not be surprised at all if I see irregular performance from PSG in Ligue 1 matches.
As usual they have no strong opposition in the Ligue One. But playing as the defending champions places a huge responsibility on them in the Champions League. A look at their match schedule shows that it would not be an easy run for the French side.
The absence of Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, has handed Barcelona a boost in the UCL encounter. Doué will be out for four weeks while Dembélé will be sidelined for about six weeks. These two players have been instrumental to the success of PSG and coach Luis Enrique would have to seek alternatives in this important game.
