Nigeria football legend, Austin Okocha has expressed optimism about Paris Saint Germain winning this year’s UEFA Champions League title.
The Le Perisien will take to tango against their 2021 nemesis, Bayern Munich in this year’s Round of 16 clash on February 15th.
Okocha who previously played for PSG said the possess the required qualities to win the title this time, especially with the inclusion of Lionel Messi in their folds.
“Definitely yes, it is only a matter of time, I have no doubts that they will win the Champions League. The only question is when will it happen? When will the team be ready?,” the Nigerian told media.
“I think they bought a couple of players lately that help the younger ones to believe in that too, and I think that is what they are missing right now to win the title; the belief that they can do it.
“Leo is making a really good impression in the team, even since he came back from his vacation after the World Cup, I would not be at all surprised if he really ignited again this season,” he concluded.
