On September 28, the match of the second round of the Champions League group stage will take place, in which the French PSG will play at home with the English Manchester City. The forecast for this match is given by Maxim Kalinichenko, a well-known midfielder of Spartak Moscow and the Ukrainian national team in the past.
Without exaggeration, this match can be called the central one in the entire second round of the Champions League. A duel with such a sign can decorate any tournament. Interestingly, PSG did not manage to beat Belgian Brugge (1:1) in the first round, while Man City defeated German RB Leipzig (6:3) with a tennis score.
Of course, with the Parisians, Josep Guardiola's team is unlikely to be able to give out the scoring extravaganza that was with the Leipzig bulls. The "citizens" will even attack less banally, fearing an opponent who has a lot of high-class players who can punish on the counterattack.
Nevertheless, Maxim Kalinichenko sees Manchester City as the favorite of the meeting, which has a more balanced team. PSG, despite a one-hundred-percent result in the French championship, is not yet ready to shine on the international stage, because Messi has not really adapted to his new team yet, and their trio with Neymar and Mbappe is not yet as formidable as it may become in the future. The expert is sure that the guests will win if Guardiola does not overdo it at the Parc des Princes with tactical delights.
