Already on Tuesday PSG opens the playoffs of the Champions League, where the team will face a difficult test, a duel with Real Madrid. At this stage the capital made their way from second place in the group, where they lost only to Man City. The start in the French Cup was easy for the 14-time winner of this trophy. The Blue-Reds easily dealt with Olnoy (3:0) and Vannes (4:0), but the next stage brought an unexpected fiasco in a duel with “Nice” in the penalty shootout. In the French championship Mauricio Pochettino’s wards have 17 wins and five peaceful outcomes after 23 rounds, which brought 56 ??points and the first position. It is impossible not to note the best indicator of the team in the attack line, which differed 51 times. In the last three duels Paris Saint-Germain beat Brest (2:0), Reims (4:0) and Lille (5:1). Herrera, Ramos, Neymar, Icardi, Diallo, Di Maria, Guye and Wijnaldum, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to play today.
Cologne hardly set itself ambitious goals for the season. The goats definitely made the main bet on maintaining a residence permit in the Bundesliga, which they barely coped with last season. However, Steffen Baumgart’s team played very well in the starting season of the championship and demonstrated very high-quality, organized football, having managed to get involved in the fight for European cups. At the moment Cologne are sixth in the table with 32 points, with a real chance to compete even for a ticket to the Champions League. The fourth line is two points away. In the last round Cologne defeated one of the main competitors represented by Freiburg with a score of 1:0 at home, thus managing to stay in the European Cup zone and interrupt a two-match streak without victories.
