Paris in the hat 2
They are only sixteen. Sixteen European tenors to run for the 2015/2016 Champions League. Sixteen to wait to be their fate. Among them, the Paris Saint-Germain. Monday, the midday shots, the team of Laurent Blanc will know its opponent for the 8th finals. For not having taken a point at its two matches against Real Madrid is second in Group A it will await the verdict. With some anxiety: PSG can fall into a big, very big even piece from the hat 1.
The worst draw for PSG: Barca
No need to be clairvoyant to imagine: Laurent Blanc will cross fingers to avoid blaugrana ogre. The leader of La Liga is also holding this Champions League. And despite a slight loss of power for two weeks, it now seems unplayable. Roma (6-1) and Real Madrid (4-0), to name but his recent victims, do not say otherwise. She will be the band Luis Enrique still at this level in two months? As long as your Messi-Neymar-Suarez trio keeps its fast pace, yes, probably.
Besides the Barça an impressive regularity in February-March: in the last eight editions, he passed the 8th finals. The Parisians have certainly not forgotten, either, that their last two matches against the Catalans had resulted in much of elimination in the quarterfinals of the editions 2013 and 2015. In short, Barca should be avoided. Along with Bayern Munich Pep Guardiola, the other bugbear of the competition.

The most clement draw for PSG: Zenit St. Petersburg
Certainly, the Russian champion flew over the group H, one of Lyon, taking 15 points out of 18. His only setback was granted in Belgium’s Gent, on the final day, when he already had his ticket for 8th and 1st place in the pocket. While the former team of Mathieu Valbuena has a weight offensive duo, consisting of Artyom Dzyuba (6 goals) and Hulk (3).
But in late February, the team of Andre Villas-Boas will lack pace. It is not yet out of his long winter break: his championship has not yet resumed. This specificity of the Russian calendar is certainly his most serious handicap. He was in 2012 as in 2014: each time, Zenit had stopped in the eighth. On paper, this therefore the club of St. Petersburg the most affordable opponent for PSG. Surely more than the Wolfsburg player Draxler and Schürrle, solid Atlético Diego Simeone or Chelsea but moribund revenge of Jose Mourinho.
