PSG’s Champions schedule turns tough after their opener

PSG began their Champions League campaign with a dominant 6-1 win over Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday, but their next fixtures will be far more demanding. As L’Équipe reports, the Parisians will take on two top-tier European clubs in their following matches.

City then Barcelona

Next up, PSG travel to Manchester City on Wednesday, October 14, before hosting Tuesday, October 20 against FC Barcelona. It’s a decisive stretch that raises the level quickly after their opening statement vs. the Slovaks.

The article also points out the added significance for Ferran Torres, who will have the chance to face his former Barcelona teammates. L’Équipe notes that Torres is the only player in PSG’s history to score at least five goals in his first four matches.

More big tests to come

The schedule keeps stacking difficulty. According to L’Équipe, PSG’s run will then include matches against Villarreal, AS Roma, Aston Villa, Côme, and Galatasaray.

Overall, PSG’s campaign moves from a strong start straight into a high-pressure sequence: first back-to-back glamour ties (City and Barcelona), followed by several more heavyweight encounters.
