After PSG beat Troyes 4-1 on Saturday (28th November) both managers talked about the obstacles to PSG progress in the Champions League.
SOUNDBITE: (French): Laurent Blanc, PSG head coach (on games abroad causing extra fatigue)
"Already the trips just down the road from Paris are very complicated, going to Le Bourget, or to Roissy. With the COP21 (United Nations conference on climate change), I don't know how we are going to do this on Monday, I don't know when we will leave on Tuesday. After we'll go to Nice on Thursday evening or Friday morning, I don't know, we are losing a lot of time, too much time with the trips."
SOUNDBITE: (French) Jean-Marc Furlan, Troyes head coach (about the disadvantage for PSG to play in a rather weak Ligue-1):
"You often see in the history of professional football, teams in Ukraine or in Russia did not go far in the Champions League because their national championship was too unbalanced. It's very important to have a national championship that is suitable, to have something to aspire to. Otherwise it is difficult for PSG to go far in the Champions League."
