Normally I would be loathe to bet a team giving up a big handicap start in a match they did not need to win. However, like in the first leg and as we saw from Atletico last night, PSG are a team looking to establish themselves at the very highest level and every performance is the chance to improve,learn something and perhaps more importantly, throw down a marker to the more established major European clubs. PSG have an eight point lead at the top of Ligue 1 and will be able to coast to the title there and I do not think they will be overly concerned about the upcoming domestic fixture.
