While waiting to find a club or a selection, the former French international Bayern Munich, Willy Sagnol, 43, has agreed to decipher the draw for French clubs in the Champions League.
Is this a good or a bad draw for PSG?
WILLY SAGNOL.
This group is clearly within the reach of PSG.
Compared to its workforce and its recruitment, Manchester United is the other favorite.
Leipzig can play the role of spoiler.
But without Werner, gone to Chelsea, it is no longer the same team.
They need speed and now they're going to miss an explosive player up front.
Basaksehir may have been Turkish champion, he has just missed his start to the season (
Editor's note: 3 defeats in 5 games
) and is clearly the weakest in the group.
Does Paris have the label of favorite of the group?
PSG can easily run for first place.
After, the Champions League lasts all year, it will probably take a few weeks before everyone picks up the pace of the first round.
Like many, I have more difficulty understanding the recruitment policy of PSG this year.
We have the impression that no one wants to make a decision.
They have lost several players that they have not replaced.
Between the starts, the accumulation of matches, the truncated preparation, there should not be many injuries within the team.

Thomas Tuchel is he right to warn, that as it stands, we cannot set him the same goals as last season?
When you have players that cost 200 million and you give them over 30 million salaries a year, the goals should stay the same.
When he says that, he is in communication, he protects himself, because he knows that at some point he will be in difficulty.
It is also a way to put pressure on its leaders.
It is surprising or there are financial elements that we do not have.
Because they have holes in the workforce.
In the midfield, in particular, they could have some difficulties.

Without reinforcement, will Paris have trouble reviewing the Champions League final this season?
We can not say redo a final because the previous format was a little different.
Between the 8th and the half, Paris did not play a top 10. And when they played Bayern in the final, we saw the gap between the two teams.
It is this gap that PSG must reduce in the coming years.
Did Rennes inherit a group within his reach for his first experience in the Champions League?
Even if it did not shine in the Champions League, Sevilla are a team with experience and qualities.
Chelsea, he made an XXL recruitment.
They should be played quickly to take advantage of their unconvincing start to the season before it finds its stride.
But Rennes, who are superior to Krasnodar, are a surprising team.
You never know… You just don't have to play just to gain experience, but also to gain points.
Can OM seek qualification in the round of 16?
In this group, Manchester City are big favorites to finish first.
But for second place everything is open.
Olympiakos, who have had a good run in the Europa League and Porto, which seems less strong to me than in recent years, certainly have a lot of experience on the European scene.
But with OM, there are three fairly homogeneous teams.
In my opinion, qualifying for the 8th is closer to OM than to Rennes.
But in this group there is also no weak team.
You will have to be thoroughly from start to finish, which is what makes the task more complicated.
