5 teams that will be desperate to win the UCL this season

#4 Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain are also desperate to get their first UCL title

The painful manner of their exit from the 2nd round of the UCL last time around will still be rankling Thomas Tuchel and his players.

After a 2-0 first-leg win against Manchester United at Old Trafford, a show of incompetence at the Parc des Princes saw the Parisiens lose 3-1 to the struggling English side.

The team bankrolled by Qatari oil wealth has been one of the biggest spenders in football in the last 10 years with over €1 billion rolled out on players since the takeover by the Qatari Sports Investment (QSI) Group in 2011.

They have dominated the Ligue Un, winning the league title 6 times in the past eight seasons. However, the team is yet to go past the quarter-final stages in Europe's premier club competition losing out on various occasions to the El Clasico duo of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.

The club and its collection of star men will be well aware of the demand of its owners for European glory. Their work this summer has been more coherent than before with squad strength being built and unwanted players being shipped out.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to be the go-to guy for the side given the Neymar shenanigans. Tuchel will be counting on him and other stars like Edinson Cavani, Marco Veratti, Marquinhos and others to deliver the coveted UCL trophy.
