Champions League 2018/19: 4 big clubs who must win or face elimination from group stages

#3 PSG

Paris Saint-Germain v SSC Napoli - UEFA Champions League Group C

Financed by the billion-dollar backing of QSI, PSG have the two most expensive players of all time in Neymar and Mbappe, and it has long been expected that they would mount a serious challenge on the Champions League.

The Neymar project failed massively last season, as the Brazilian was powerless to stop the Parisians' elimination at the hands of Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid in the round of 16.

This season, they have not fared much better, falling to Liverpool in a 3-2 defeat at Anfield on the opening day, in a match which they were criticized for their spineless display.

They followed that up with a routine 6-0 victory over Crvena Zvezda at the Parc des Princes, before standing on the verge of losing their second match as they trailed Napoli for most of the match at home before snatching a last-gasp equalizer with Di Maria’s lovely curled effort in the second minute of injury time.

Heading into matchday 4, the French moneybags find themselves in third place on four points, two points behind Liverpool who travel to Serbia to face Crvena Zvezda, hence they must pick up victory in Naples today against Napoli, or face the potential of getting eliminated by next week if results go against them.
