3 highlights in the first round of the Champions League: Paris breaks the Juventus curse? Messi 1 stats suggest tonight's ending

The Champions League has rekindled the war, and the first round of the group stage of the season will start tonight. In Group H, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are the favorites to qualify. After all, the other two teams, whether it is Benfica or Maccabi Haifa, are far less powerful than Paris and Juventus. Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain's home game against Juventus tonight is the focus game that determines the trend of this group.

Aspect 1: Paris breaks the Juventus curse?

Paris Saint-Germain is the best in French football in the new season. First, they beat Nantes in the French Super Cup final to win the championship. Then, after the first round of the new season, they won three consecutive victories and scored an average of 6 goals per game. The victory of the ball.

Although they were tied by Monaco at home in the fourth round, Paris has won two consecutive 3-0 away victories in the last two rounds of the league. It is said that Paris is currently an invincible giant in French football. No exaggeration.

Juventus stumbled slightly in the Serie A arena. After 5 rounds, Juventus only won two games. However, Juventus drew with their opponents in the other three games, that is to say, since the new season, Juventus has not yet failed, and the stability of the "Old Lady" is evident.

From the point of view of the card, Paris is undoubtedly the stronger party. Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are lined up. Looking at the world, I am afraid that no team will not be afraid of three points. However, Juventus is not an easy-going person. Although they can’t achieve a solid wall in Serie A, their European war results are very good, especially the first round of European wars every season.

According to statistics, Juventus has lost only one of the last 22 first-round matches of the Champions League group stage, which was beaten away by Barcelona in 2017. In the other 21 games, Juventus are unbeaten. It should be reminded that PSG cannot take it lightly. Juventus has a strong psychological advantage against the French team, because they have only lost 1 game against the French team in the past 10 times.

Then, in terms of the contest between the two teams, Paris Saint-Germain has no historical advantage. Historically, Paris Saint-Germain has never beaten Juventus and has suffered a 6-game losing streak against Juventus.

Of course, Paris Saint-Germain has risen in the last decade, and their encounters with Juventus have only happened in the last century. From this point of view, this contest at home may be a great opportunity for Paris to change the historical pattern.

Aspect 2: How can Juventus defend against the attack group led by Messi?

The advantage of Paris is also reflected in the good state of the star.

Messi has been in excellent form since the beginning of the season. On the list of extraordinary successes that reflect personal skills, Messi has completed 29 times, far higher than those behind him. In terms of offensive data, Messi scored 3 goals and 6 assists in 6 Ligue 1 games in the new season.

Not only Messi is in great shape, Mbappe and Neymar are also in great shape. Mbappe has scored 7 goals in the 5 league games he has played, and Neymar has also scored 7 Ligue 1 goals and 6 assists.

For such a powerful attack group, it is no wonder that the Juventus coach couldn't help but laugh at himself. Of course, the coach's self-deprecation is sometimes to decompress his team. After all, no one wants their team to lose. On the Paris side, Galtier's team is low-key and solid, with outstanding superstars sitting in town, and it is very hopeful to break the curse.

Aspect 3: Show yourself off against the old host?

However, Di Maria failed to play against the old owner with the team, which made the game less interesting. Di Maria is a veteran of Paris Saint-Germain and has come to Juventus this season to play an important role. Although it is a pity that Di Maria is absent, there are still former PSG players like Rabiot in the Juventus team.

As we all know, Rabiot had a bad time with the club before leaving Paris Saint-Germain. It is worth paying attention to how Rabiot will play in front of the old master this time.
