This week saw the first leg of the Champions League 2024-2025 Round of 8. As a result, UEFA is organizing a series of fan votes. Paris Saint-Germain, who lost to Liverpool at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday (0-1), has no player selected in UEFA’s Team of the Week.
PSG may have lost, but we’re still very surprised not to see a single Parisian in this standard team, after their domination of Liverpool. Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson Becker (32) is also in this selection, as he had to be so heroic to hold the English team together.
But it’s also a symbol of the tough competition in this competition. It’s not enough to play well, you have to be strong in all areas, including efficiency. It’s a pity, because the Parisian midfield in particular seemed to deserve to be in the limelight.
