The sky darkened at the end of the Turin night for PSG. By conceding second place in group H to Benfica, despite the victory against Juventus Turin, Wednesday evening, and thanks to the 7th criterion, the goals scored outside, PSG has clearly complicated the task for the future. of the Champions League. And the list of potential future opponents of the Parisians in the round of 16, the first in their group, is frankly not reassuring.
Very heavy
Among these potential adversaries are the three favorites of the competition: The defending champion and executioner of PSG last season, Real Madrid, but also the defending champion of England, Manchester City, and the Bavarian ogre, Bayern Munich . Very, very heavy, and opponents who could clearly stop PSG’s European adventure next February.
Heavy
Naples, author of an exceptional start to the season despite the defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday evening (2-0), finished first in its group ahead of the Reds and could return to Paris in February. Less flashy than the clubs above, the Neapolitans would be formidable opponents for PSG with their polished game advocated by Spalletti which has been working wonders since the start of the season. Chelsea, who recovered well after a difficult start, could also fall on PSG, as in 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. With the results that we know.
More affordable
FC Porto and Tottenham, who came first in their group after beating OM on Tuesday, act as more affordable teams for PSG. But beware of the Portuguese, who after two inaugural defeats, did not stop winning to pass in front of Bruges in first place in their group.
Bayern most likely team
From a probability point of view, it is Bayern Munich that PSG have the most (poor) chance of meeting for the knockout stages of the Champions League according to the probabilities (18.11%). Meager hope for the Parisians, the Bavarians have at the same time more than 40% chance of facing Liverpool. Next come Naples (17%), then Tottenham and Chelsea (14.2%) for PSG.
