UEFA Champions League 2024-25 matchday 7 is knocking on the door, where Paris Saint-Germain is ready to face off against English Premier League giant Manchester City at their home Parc des Princess.
The Ligue 1 giant only has seven points fewer points ahead of the bottom three teams. The French heavyweight is in the 25th position on the UCL league table.
On the other hand, Manchester City is in the 22nd position ahead of PSG, Guardiola's men have eight points. The match between Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester City will be crucial for both of them as they both need three points to qualify for the next round. Luis Enriques' lads will have to give their all to get a good result against the Premier League heavyweight.
Even though the City is currently struggling to defend their Premier League title, their poor form over the last several months has created a gap between them and Liverpool.
Despite their poor form and recent performances in the UCL, they are no one to be discarded. This fixture will be a mouth-watering clash, as they both need 3 points and have huge pressure to win back-to-back games in the Champions League.
