PSG vs Man City?

who will win Champions League first?
i think City may win the CL in the next 2-3 years

while for PSG i think they might win it in 2-4 years time.

You have to see PSG play some big games in Europe before getting an idea of their level. I also wonder how much losses they're making and whether UEFA wants to force Financial Fair Play on them.

real madrid played last final almost 10 years ago.. I doubt PSG and City will play any in the following years!

No one can tell actually . Who believed this season that Chelsea would win the CL , or that Liverpool would win it after going 3-0 in half time ?

Of course , they aren't ready yet , but it's wise in football not to rule out any opponent .

My guess would be City . Playing in the PL will help them more than Ligue 1 will help PSG . Better league will make them more ready to win it , if they are able to in the first place..

Real Madrid can't even make it to a final, and they have a better team and a much better manager than those 2. Not a chance either of these 2 will win the CL in the next 2-3-4 years. It took Abramovic 9 years to see his team win the trophy he most craved....that in itself lets you know how difficult winning the CL is.

If not for Roman's addiction to sacking coaches,they might have won it under JM

France still cant attract the same calibre of players as the EPL and EPL teams generate much higher revenue comapred to French sides, and thus City are always going to heave better players and are much more likely to win the CL then QSG

still there isnt much CL expirence in this man city team (look at last years CL campagin) and its going to be a while still before they win it

The CL is about Skill + Luck anyway. So really you never know who will win it until the final whistle of the final.

What has mancini done in his career to prove that he's any good in Europe? So he won the PL? Well he won a lot of Scudettos too. No new thing there. Who ever thought that our 04-05 team - who were miles ahead of this current City team - would not make it past frakkin Liverpool?! The CL isn't that easy.

And you think people go to England for the weather? They go for the money and PSG has a lot of it.

And frankly there is something wrong with you if you think big players wouldn't want to live in Paris.

RDM was a nobody in Europe once upon a time too

Yeah well Mancini has proven that he's out of his depth in Europe. Just saying...

You can't just decide to end the "test" whenever you want lol. Next season could be different, the season after as well etc.

The CL is a really complicated competition to win, you of all people should know that.

i dont disagree with anything you said there, but at the end of the day if QSG and City were in a bidding war over a player, personally id have my money on city out bidding them for one but also the player in question would probably lean towards city because their more likely to win tropies there

As another aside, City has the advantage over PSG is that they won't face any British team until pretty later into the tournament. However, statistically that increases the chance of them meeting Madrid or Barca earlier on. So could work both ways.

Kind of how I feel on the matter. He barely won the premier league when he had a team that should of won the premiership well above every other team, but he bumbled his way to the crown. Personally, I see him failing again in Europe and it leading to his exit at City even if he wins the premiership again.

City won't outbid PSG so let's stop that line of thought. At the very least they are on equal ground.

I agree that the chance to win the EPL would be more attractive, much more than Ligue 1, but PSG are going to be in the CL for the foreseeable future and if they can coast their league with great players they can focus on winning the CL.

If PSG become a CL contender with Carlo, the money and the allure of the city itself would make it a much more attractive option than City imo.

from the sheik's I respect the one who owns Malaga he tried to build team slowly without overpaying

This great Chelsea team that got beat by City managed by Kevin Keegan in 2004/05.

That great Chelsea team?

Arf!!!!!!

There isn't a damn player from that City team in 2004/05 who would have been good enough to get a spot on our bench. Maybe Anelka would have made the bench.....maybe.

Anelka was a Chelsea starter already. I think maybe's is to low a standard for Anelka. lol

So much luck and strange results happen in the CL that I would not be surprised one bit if we won it soon.
