PSG kick off their Champions League campaign this Wednesday, hosting Girona at the Parc des Princes at 9 p.m.
PSG is once again embarking on its quest for a first Champions League title. The Parisians are opening their 2024-2025 season in the biggest European competition with the reception of Girona this Wednesday evening, in a completely new format. Gone is the traditional group stage, which is replaced by a huge single pool of 36 teams. And the players of Luis Enrique must be among the top eight to go straight to the round of 16. This requires a victory for PSG against one of its most affordable opponents. Especially since the Parisians arrive with plenty of confidence after winning all their matches since the start of the season.
Opposite, Girona are participating in the Champions League for the first time in their history. Michel’s men, who surprisingly finished third in the Spanish championship last season, are starting their campaign with a very big challenge. “The Parc des Princes is a dream for us. We’re going there with hope and determination, being ourselves as always. We’re going to play in the best possible way, we’ve earned the right to enjoy it. La Liga is the number 1 objective and the Champions League is nothing but positive, hope and determination. We all dream of the Champions League anthem,” said the Girona coach before the match.
