Paris Saint-Germain's bid for a second consecutive UEFA Champions League title has been dealt a significant blow by former Super Eagles defender Godwin Okpara. The French giants have been tipped as one of the strongest teams left in the competition, but Okpara believes they are not the favourites to win this season's title.
Okpara, a former PSG star, pointed out that the team is still adjusting after several changes within the squad, which has affected their consistency. He noted that PSG are no longer the same team they used to be, and their recent performances have been mixed. Despite their strong displays in the competition, Okpara believes they will need to improve quickly if they want to defend the title.
PSG's recent results have been impressive, with a 5-2 win over Chelsea in the round of 16 and a 3-0 victory away at Stamford Bridge. However, Okpara's doubts about their ability to win the title are based on their inconsistent form and lack of balance within the squad.
The team's tactical approach could also play a role in their success or failure, according to Okpara. He suggested that the coach may be trying different tactics to confuse opponents, which could work in knockout competitions.
African star, Kylian Mbappé, has been instrumental in PSG's success this season, but Okpara's doubts about the team's title chances highlight the challenges they face. To win the Champions League, PSG will need to find consistency and balance within the squad, and it remains to be seen if they can overcome these obstacles. If they do, it will be a testament to their strength and resilience.
