Champions League: Defending champion Liverpool travels to Atletico, Dortmund hosts PSG – CNN
Given how many star names Paris Saint-Germain boasts in its squad, the French giant once again came into the Champions League as one of the favorites.However, memories of recent capitulations in the knockout stages still linger like a bad dream in the minds of PSG fans and players.First came the loss to Barcelona, a sickening 6-1 defeat at the Camp Nou that undid all the hard work of a 4-0 victory in Paris in the first leg.And last season it happened again, on that occasion a 3-1 defeat — including a stoppage-time penalty — against Manchester United on home soil condemning the club to an early exit once again.Star forward Neymar missed that tie due to injury — another in what is now a long list during his time at PSG — but the Brazilian is fit and raring to go against Borussia Dortmund.If he can stay fit for the remainder of the season, the French side has a serious shot at that first Champions League title it so desperately craves.
