In the “After Foot” broadcast on RMC, Daniel Riolo expressed a strong optimism about Paris Saint-Germain’s chances of winning the Champions League. With the victory against Aston Villa a few days ago, the columnist considers that the path to the final, which will take place in Munich on 1 June next, will be relatively clear for the Parisians. Although the qualifying for the semi-finals, which will be contested this Tuesday night in Birmingham, is a crucial stage, the capital club sees an opportunity to join the last square for the second consecutive year, thus fuelling the hope of a final victory.

Daniel Riolo also looked at Paris Saint-Germain’s performance on the European scene in recent years, highlighting the consistency of the results despite the frequent changes in coaches and the varied profiles of the teams. He noted a succession of honourable results, including a final in 2020, a semi-final in 2021, and more recent semi-finals, highlighting a period of notable progress within the club. In his view, this stability is evidence of adaptability and willingness to maintain a high level of competition.

Finally, the polemist identified FC Barcelona as the only real potential obstacle to the conquest of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain this year. If there are no setbacks related to injuries, he envisages that the team, mature and ready, can accomplish a destiny that seemed written for a long time. The current period, despite the sometimes surprising choices and changes of direction, is seen as an interesting phase of reconstruction and revival for the Parisian club.
