The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international wants to avoid the European heavyweights in the next round of the Champions League and feels that other teams in the competition would be hoping to avoid Paris Saint-Germain in the next round
The cash-laden club from Paris finished the first stage of the European competition as group leaders making sure that they do not face European heavyweights in the next round. However, there are still a number of teams, who can give PSG a hard time including
Real Madrid and Blaise Matuidi wants to avoid that.
While talking to reporters, the France international stated that Champions League is the best club competition in the world and Paris Saint-Germain will be keeping a close eye on the draw. Every team out there in the competition wants to win the prestigious
trophy and Matuidi is hoping for a favourable draw as it will enhance his side’s chances in the competition.
“We will certainly be keeping a close eye on the draw. The Champions League is the top, and we're hoping for a favourable draw.”
The former Saint-Etienne player added that the home game in the next round would be very important and Les Parisiens need to do really well at the Parc if they want to progress through the next round.
“We're already assured of a home game, and that's a great thing.”
The 25-year-old added that every team in the Champions League are tough and they are here because they deserve it. PSG can’t take any side lightly but in football, there are few team that are weaker as compared to others, and Matuidi wants PSG to face a
team that has comparatively less European experience.
“There are certain less-vaunted sides like Celtic or Galatasaray who, even though they deserve to be there and are capable of big things, and we'd love to avoid the heavyweights, like Real Madrid.”
Talking about Paris Saint-Germain’s chances in Europe this season, the Frenchman said that it’s too early to say anything about that. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681 is sure that other teams in the competition would be hoping to avoid PSG in the next round.
“Still, Paris Saint-Germain will be one of the sides others are hoping to avoid."
