PSG manager Laurent Blanc had this to offer following the club's 3-2 victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League (via the Guardian): "The new owners are starting to build a European club with a lot of ambition and we're giving positive signs because we can compete against recent winners of the Champions League."
Center-back David Luis provided a more reserved response, adding: The Champions League is about having that consistency, but let's wait and see what happens from now on."
Tactical Preview
