PSG Talking Podcast: Do People Understand How Good Barcola Is? | OneFootball

Three Ligue 1 matches and three convincing wins for Paris Saint-Germain, who sit atop the Ligue 1 table heading into the international break.

On this episode of PSG Talking, I’m joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down the 3-1 win over LOSC Lille and we look ahead to the revamped UEFA Champions League.

Up first, it’s the win over Lille. We discuss what we liked from the match, including Bradley Barcola’s performance. How many goals can the Frenchman score this season, and can PSG’s attack continue its impressive goalscoring streak with 13 goals in three matches?

We also discuss aspects of the win that were not so great for PSG, including a defense that struggled at times against Lille. We also question some of Luis Enrique’s early substitutions that seemed to play into Lille’s strategy.

After talking about Ligue 1, we switch gears to the Champions League, where PSG will host Girona FC, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, and Manchester City at the Parc des Princes and travel to play Arsenal FC, FC Bayern Munich, Salzburg FC, and Stuttgart. It’s statistically the most difficult draw and PSG will need to remain healthy to secure a place in the knockout round. We name the fixtures we’re most looking forward to and predict how many points PSG will likely secure.
