PSG: two trips to the Velodrome, Bayern in the middle … difficult February awaits Parisians

It changes a lot. While PSG can hope for a soft draw in the Coupe de France play-offs, Olympique de Marseille will stand in their way on Tuesday 7 February or Wednesday 8 February, which will obviously be the poster for the next round . between the two most successful clubs in the history of the competition. There will be no respite for Paris, which could hope to breathe in some elements in view of the large deadlines awaiting it in February. In a few days, the players of Christophe Galtier will face a more than hectic schedule with this OM-PSG to kick off an incredible streak.

“We have a tough match ahead of us”

Having failed to convince since the beginning of the year, Neymar and his partners are expected to be in talks for the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against Bayern Munich in mid-February.
