PSG eyes fixed firmly on biggest prize

After frustrating past couple of months, French giant now pinning hopes on elusive Champions League glory

Paris Saint-Germain is still optimistic it can win the Champions League for the first time when the tournament is played in Lisbon in August, even if the coronavirus crisis has left the Qatar-owned club weakened both on and off the field.

The decision to bring an early end to the French season in late April, with more than a quarter of matches unplayed, did not prevent PSG from being crowned Ligue 1 champion for the third year running, but it was hardly how the club wanted things to end.

Without having had the chance to celebrate, the PSG squad returns to training last week over three months after its last game, the 2-0 defeat of Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League last-16, second-leg tie.
