In February, the UEFA Champions League also fully returned, and the [-] teams after the group stage fought against each other.

On February [-]th, Manchester United will challenge the Ligue [-] giants Paris Saint-Germain away!

For both sides, meeting such a strong opponent in the top [-] is obviously something that neither side wants to see.

Paris Saint-Germain has always been a force to be reckoned with in French football, but their golden age was only in the 90s before the Qatari consortium moved in.

In the 90s, France's Canal+ radio station bought Paris Saint-Germain and brought financial support.Throughout the 90s, the Paris team gathered stars such as Alan Roche, David Ginola, Bernard Lama, Ray, Ricardo Gomez, and George Weah.

In the 90s, with George Weah and other players, Paris Saint-Germain won their second league championship in Ligue 1995 and also made a breakthrough in the European War. In the 96-1992 season, Paris Saint-Germain won They won the European Cup Winners' Cup and became the second French team to win the European Championship since the 93-1 UEFA Champions League champion Marseille.In that European Cup Winners Cup, Paris defeated teams such as Celtic, Parma and Deportivo all the way, and defeated Rapid Vienna with [-] goal in the final.

However, after entering the 21st century, there were problems with the operation of Paris Saint-Germain. In 2003, Paris Saint-Germain had a serious financial crisis and had to sell Ronaldinho to Barcelona. In the 2003-04 season, the team reorganized the team and signed Pauletta, Juan Sorin, Daniel Liuboya and others, hoping to revive again, but things backfired. The team finished runner-up in the league, only in France Win the cup.After that, Paris Saint-Germain was gradually thrown away by teams such as Lyon and Marseille in the arms race, and accordingly, the players introduced by the team seemed to be insufficient.The team did not achieve any outstanding results, and only won the French Cup once in the 2005-06 season.

On June 2011, 6, Paris Saint-Germain Club ushered in a major reform: Qatar Sports Investment Fund invested a total of about 30 million euros to purchase 5000% of the club's shares, of which 70 million to 1500 million euros will be used to repay the club's previous debt.So far, the Qatar consortium has become the largest shareholder of the club, and Paris Saint-Germain has become the team of the Middle East.After becoming the largest shareholder of Paris Saint-Germain, the Qataris started recruiting. In the summer of 2000, Paris Saint-Germain spent 2011 million euros and successively purchased Javier Pastore, Jeremy Mene, Mohamed Sissoko, Blaise Matuidi, Salvatore 9150 players including Sirigu and Kevin Gameiro.

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain announced Emery as the team's coach, and now Paris Saint-Germain is already the most luxurious division in Ligue [-].

They have a large number of enviable superstar players, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Verratti, Draxler, Lucas Jr., Matuidi!

These players are the envy of the opposing head coach in any team pair.

There is no doubt that the money from the Qatar consortium has helped Paris Saint-Germain build an absolutely luxurious team, but although Paris Saint-Germain has won four consecutive victories in Ligue [-], they have never been able to go further in the Champions League.

The best result Paris Saint-Germain has achieved in the Champions League is to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season. In fact, they have reached the quarter-finals for two consecutive seasons, but it is always difficult for such a luxurious team to win again. A breakthrough in the Champions League.

The team's previous head coach Blanco was also fired by the team because of his poor performance in the Champions League.This season, Paris Saint-Germain ushered in a new coach Emery.

And the main reason why Paris Saint-Germain took a fancy to Emery is because of Emery's performance in the European war!

Emery once led Sevilla to achieve three consecutive victories in the Europa League: 2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016, for three consecutive seasons, the Europa League champions belonged to Seville led by Emery. Vilia's!

Emery's achievements in the European war naturally made Paris Saint-Germain eager to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. On the evening of June 2016, 6, Paris Saint-Germain announced the team's main team for next season through official Twitter The coaching candidate, the former Sevilla coach Emery will be in charge of the PSG coach, and the two sides signed a contract until 22.

For Emery this season, his team will face the most critical challenge of the season. In the Champions League round of [-], they will face the defending champion Manchester United!
