PSG fear impact of injuries as they put Champions League title on the line
PARIS: There is the sense that the new season gets up and running for real this week for Paris Saint-Germain as they begin their defense of the Champions League title amid doubts as to how much longer their squad can handle being pushed to the limit by a crowded calendar. PSG host Atalanta on Wednesday for their first game in Europe, three and a half months after their stunning 5-0 destruction of Inter Milan in last season’s final in Munich. Luis Enrique’s team will also entertain Bayern, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United in the league phase, with trips to Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Athletic Bilbao and to Lisbon to face Sporting on the horizon too. Those are tough games, although PSG’s poor start in last season’s Champions League has shown that they might not need to be at their very best immediately. The French champions lost three of eight league phase games last season, but still won Europe’s elite club competition for the first time following a dazzling run of form from the turn of the year. The concern now, however, is that last season’s exertions could catch up with them and seriously jeopardize their chances of retaining the trophy. The Parisians played 65 games during 2024/25, in a season spanning 11 months.

De Bruyne says Manchester City return will feel strange
BRUSSELS: Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said on Saturday that a return to Manchester City later this month in the colors of his new club Napoli will be a strange sensation. De Bruyne, 34, left City at the end of last season when his contract was not renewed and joined Napoli, who visit the Etihad Stadium for their Champions League group opener on September 18. “I’ve only played two matches in Serie A. It’s different under manager (Antonio) Conte than the years under Pep Guardiola,” De Bruyne told reporters on the eve of Belgium’s World Cup Group J qualifier against Kazakhstan in Brussels. “My first impression is that it’s more tactical in Italy and things move a bit slower.
