Claudio Ranieri, the Monaco coach, who declared PSG as the champion of France. However, Cristiano Ronaldo, in an interview with Téléfoot, suggested that PSG could win the Champions League this season, stating that they would be difficult to beat. However, Ronaldo’s comments overlook a few factors.
Firstly, Real Madrid, PSG’s potential competitor in the Champions League, also has aspirations for the title. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti, the former PSG coach and current Real Madrid coach, has expressed doubts about PSG’s readiness to compete at the highest level. Ancelotti noted the challenges of instilling a winning mentality at PSG during his tenure and highlighted the importance of players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic in fostering professionalism within the team.
Moreover, Real Madrid demonstrated their superiority over PSG in a friendly match earlier in the season, reminding PSG of the competition they would face in the Champions League.
In light of these factors, Ronaldo’s remarks may have been intended to flatter French journalists or to acknowledge PSG’s potential but also to highlight the challenges they face in competing for the Champions League title.
