The most beautiful European Cup resumes its rights this Tuesday with the participation of PSG, OM and Rennes on the French side.
State of play by the sports editorial staff of
Le Figaro
.
Which cador will flop?
Once again,
Manchester City
will not be in the Champions League.
The defense of Pep Guardiola was catastrophic last season and the recruitments of Ruben Dias (68 million euros) and Nathan Aké (45 million) will not be enough to solidify this failing sector.
The loss of Leroy Sané will also weigh heavily even if the team has learned to play without the German, long injured in recent months.

After a season of abstinence, and a semi-final of the Europa League,
Manchester United
returns to the C1.
Maybe not for long.
Logically favorites to win one of the two tickets in the round of 16 in Group H, with Paris, the Red Devils are in the trough at the start of the season, with already two losses in the league, including a rout against Tottenham (1-6), and a defense to say the least… porous.
They would do well to be wary of Leipzig, C1 semi-finalist in 2020. MU, a little tour and then go?

I put a coin on
Barça
and
Real Madrid.
The Blaugrana, with the soap opera Messi in the background, approach the C1 without a real striker by profession and a lot of doubts.
As for Madrid, no rookie this summer for a group from which Zidane will not be able to draw the quintessence all the time.
