He believes that PSG and Barcelona offered the best football in Europe last year and hopes for a showdown between the two clubs in the next continental edition.

“Paris Saint-Germain had a fantastic season last year. They won the Champions League and the French championship. They play magnificent football with an excellent coach, great players, and a solid team. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to play against them. It’s a football match that the world was waiting for, because I think we were the most competitive and best-prepared teams last season. We hope to play against them this season to see who’s the best. With all the respect I owe to all the other clubs, because maybe another club will emerge this season that plays good football. But in terms of football, all those who love this game said last season that Barcelona and Paris were the two teams in the best shape and playing the best football in the world. (…) I hope this opportunity will arise next season.”

Recent history between PSG and Barcelona has been marked by a balanced rivalry, fueled by spectacular encounters and the presence of superstars on both sides. Their recent Champions League matchups have alternated between exploit and suspense, revealing two seductive offensive philosophies.
