PSG already know their eight opponents for the league phase of the Champions League. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the Parisian president, spoke with the press about this draw.
This Thursday, the draw for the UCL league phase was carried out. As the reigning champion, PSG will play against eight teams of a very high level.
The Parisians will meet again particularly with Bayern Munich, Tottenham, and also FC Barcelona.
At the microphone of Canal Plus, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, the president of the Parisian club, evoked this draw and the attractive match between PSG and FC Barcelona, two of the best teams of last season.
"It is the best club competition in the world. All the best clubs in Europe play this competition. It is always difficult, hard. But we are going to think match after match until the end."

The race for the 2025 Ballon d'Or concerns PSG more than ever, and this topic has generated many debates with opinions that are sometimes very... blunt.
The Qatari executive was also asked, evidently, about the tie against Barcelona, an encounter that all the fans wanted to see last campaign, but it was not possible as Inter eliminated the Catalans from the Champions League, and they also did not participate in the Club World Cup.
"FC Barcelona? It is the match that everyone is waiting for. It is a magnificent match between two great clubs. We have a lot of respect for Barcelona, who are a great club. We are also a great club."
For the president of Paris Saint-Germain, the previous season is already a thing of the past, and they want to face this campaign with the same, or greater, enthusiasm.
"What changes about being the reigning champion? Last season, we have forgotten it today. We are thinking about this new season. It is certain that it gives confidence. But confidence without work is nothing. We need to work. We want everyone to think match after match. It is the most important thing. It is true that we won last season, but today, we have forgotten last season and we are thinking about this season."
