The draw ceremony for the group stage of the Champions League will start tomorrow, Thursday, in Istanbul, Turkey, which will host the final match of the continental competition.
The Paris club completely changed its skin by dismissing Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino and sports director Leonardo and replacing them with French coach Christophe Galtet and Portuguese Luis Campos, the new sports advisor.
Gallett has already moved with Campos to restructure PSG by cutting names such as Georgino Wijnaldum, Areola, Xavi Simmons, and Angel Di Maria.
On the way, there are other names that Saint-Germain seeks to dispense with, such as Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera, Idrissa Gaye, Abdo Diallo, Levin Kurzawa, Mauro Icardi, and Keylor Navas.
The Paris administration also changed its policy in the transfer market, and did not go to the illustrious names, as happened the last year in 2021, but contracted with promising names such as Vitina, Hugo Eketiki, Renato Sanchez and Nordi Mukele, and Gallett is waiting for 3 other names.
The Paris club hopes that the new project will realize the biggest dream: winning the Champions League.
However, the conflict between the stars remains the biggest obsession, which threatens this dream, as the duo Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe started the excitement early in the struggle over who takes the penalty kicks.
Christoph Galtet settled the matter, saying that Mbappe, the first seed, was followed by Neymar, while press reports speculated that the young French star had asked the club’s management to dispense with his Brazilian colleague, this summer.
And there is a fire under the ashes that may ignite if Keylor Navas continues, who has publicly confirmed that he is not satisfied with sitting as a substitute for his fellow Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The current season will be exceptional, in which neither the administration nor the Paris fans will bear a new European failure, despite the team’s strong start in the first 4 local matches in the Super Cup and the League.
The Paris giant is also waiting for possible fiery confrontations at the beginning of his career, whether from the second-ranking clubs Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, or Tottenham.
The third classification in the lottery also includes prominent football powers that have a great reputation in Europe, such as Inter Milan, Napoli, and Benfica.
