Former France international Christophe Dugarry hailed Paris Saint-Germain's performance in their Champions League clash against Manchester City. The Parisians clinched a 4-2 victory, showcasing their immense potential.
Dugarry praised the first half as outstanding in terms of technical proficiency.
“The first half was simply astonishing - the level of skill was beyond the ordinary,”
he stated. The ex-striker noted that even a less than convincing start to the season does not stop PSG from displaying top-notch football. When the Parisians crank up the intensity, they are capable of overcoming virtually any adversary.
“PSG sends a signal to everyone else: even if the start of the season was mediocre, once the team kicks into gear, they can beat anyone.
It feels like as soon as they ramp up the pace or put in a bit more effort, they can turn a match on its head,”
Dugarry added. He did point out that Manchester City managed to claw their way back into the game in the second half, attributing this largely to PSG's drop in intensity.
“Yes, they faced a tough time in the second half, but I think that was mainly because they relaxed a bit and eased off the gas,”
the expert explained. In closing, Dugarry emphasised that PSG's performance should set alarm bells ringing for the rest of the competitors in the tournament.
“They are significantly ahead of everyone else. This is a serious warning for all their rivals,”
he concluded. The victory over Manchester City further solidified PSG's impressive potential. Now, they will look to confirm this level in their upcoming Champions League fixtures.
