Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are two teams that require no introduction. Even if you are not completely aware of them, you are bound to have heard about either of these teams during the months leading up to the new season. While the London outfit broke the British record for the most expensive transfer by signing Jack Grealish, PSG made history by building a team consisting of Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma.  So what will happen when the two go head-to-head in the Champions League?

Manchester City Vs PSG: Group Stage, Matchday 2

It's not every other day that we get to see both City and PSG in the same group. While the teams did face each other during the previous season, things have changed a lot since that meeting. With the City continuing their dominance over Europe and PSG bringing in world-class players, the games between these two giants are clearly going down to the wire. While some may claim that PSG has an advantage, it is hard to ignore City, especially when they come in with such firepower. 

Date and Venue

The group stage match between City and PSG is bound to kick off on the 29th of Sept, 2021 and will take place at Parc des Princes. 

Manchester City Vs PSG: Team Analysis

1. Manchester City

While City’s critics have time and again spoken about the team’s requirement for a striker, Guardiola has managed to live without one. With their adventures with Harry Kane coming nowhere close to being a solid deal, City was asked to move forward without a proper number nine. However, the start of the new season has showcased the fact that they might not need a number nine.  Most of their attacking forwards are more than capable of doing the job and Pep Guardiola has plenty of options to choose from. Since a game against PSG comes with a lot of demands, we are bound to see Guardiola pick City’s world-class players to represent them at Parc des Princes. 

2. PSG

The summer transfer window of 2021 will always be remembered for the unexpected surprises that it bore, especially the transfer of two of the greatest players of football. Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo switched teams, with the latter heading down to London to team up with the red half of Manchester and the former leaving for Paris. Messi’s arrival to PSG managed to shake the world because we never imagined the legend wearing another club jersey apart from Barcelona.  However, time to ponder over the attacking threat of PSG is over because they now have to get to business. Having been in fine form for all Ligue 1 matches, PSG will be heading into the Champions League games with confidence, despite being held to a draw against Club Brugge in their opening game of the league. When the game against City comes knocking, we expect PSG’s front three (Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi) to be ready.  Due to that, it is obviously going to be a tight affair with the results being unpredictable. So if you want to place bets or even consider football betting, you need the help of BritainBet.
