The opposite would also be a surprise. Former player of the club, the Brazilian Candido Filho Valdo believes that this is the year of PSG. The French club is facing Leipzig this Tuesday in the semifinals of the Champions League.

“They have everything to succeed. I don’t know if this generation is stronger or weaker than us. But they have everything to succeed. When I see the staff, I prefer to be with Paris rather than being against. To my mind, this time is the right one for the PSG.” Valdo told AFP.

Present in Lisbon, the coach of Congo reveals the mindset of the Parisian club. “What I feel is the love of the players for one another. They have really made one. And also the complicity between the players and their coach (Thomas Tuchel). Equalizing in the 90th minute and then taking the lead in the 93rd minute, you have to be really strong in mind.”

Valdo also played a semi-final with PSG in 1995.
