Football is a competitive sport that is easy to slap in the face, and this is the greatest charm of football. This is fully reflected in Paris Grande. At the beginning of the season, Paris Saint-Germain's miserable appearance in the Champions League seemed to have seen the superstar vacuum left by Mbappe after leaving the team. At that time, Paris Saint-Germain lost to whom, and in the first stage, he barely qualified for the playoffs at the last moment. Many people think that Paris Saint-German is not suitable for the new competition system, but in fact, anyone with a little empathy should face up to the bad luck of Paris Saint-German. What teams do they encounter? Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Bayern, Manchester City... If you let Real Madrid and Barcelona touch these four teams, they can't guarantee how many points they can get.

Just when people thought Paris Saint-Germain would plummet this season, they had a wave of output that opened low and closed high. After entering the knockout stage, they were in better shape, and they felt that they became more and more clear as they played. It's nothing to eliminate Ligue 1 little brother Brest 10:0, and in the quarterfinals, their elimination of Liverpool has already made people smell their horror. The key is that Paris Saint-Germain is the dominant side in both rounds.

Next, face Aston Villa. Although the total score is 5:4, Paris Saint-Germain seems to have passed the challenge, but in fact, from the process, it is really easy to advance to Paris Saint-Germain.

Then there is the semi-final, Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal 1-0 away. Although it is not yet certain that Paris Saint-Germain can advance to the final, winning away games has already gained an advantage. Besides, it echoes the 0:2 loss to Arsenal in the first stage, and Paris Saint-Germain has completed its revenge.

OK, have you found it? So far this season, Paris Saint-Germain has defeated four Premier League teams in the Champions League. There are only 4 participating teams in the Premier League this season, all of which have encountered Paris Saint-Germain. Let's review the first stage. Paris Saint-Germain beat Manchester City 4:2, in the second leg of the quarterfinals, Paris Saint-Germain beat Liverpool 1:0 away, in the first leg of the quarterfinals, Paris Saint-Germain beat Aston Villa 3:1 at home, in the first leg of the semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal 1:0 away, erasing the decline of losing to the opponent in the first stage.

In other words, Paris Saint-Germain completed a very rare event in the Champions League - defeating 4 teams from the same league in a single season.

You should know that in the early Champions League, only the league champions could participate, so in theory you could only encounter two teams from the same league at most (yes, in theory, it is possible to encounter the defending champions from this league). In the 1999-2000 season, the Champions League expanded to 32 teams, and in some leagues, there were 4 teams available to participate. But even so, it is a very small probability that you can meet all four teams in a single season. After all, on the one hand, you need to go a long way to go.

Teams with this experience have actually reached the semi-finals even from the perspective of game games. So, what will happen to the final trend of Paris Saint-Germain this season in the Champions League? In fact, there is really a precedent - who did you think that defeated four teams in the same league in a single season in the Champions League? And, what achievements did they finally get?

is really close, it is Real Madrid last season.

At that time, Real Madrid defeated Berlin United in the group stage, eliminated Red Bull Leipzig in the quarterfinals, sent Bayern home in the semi-finals, defeated Dortmund in the final - defeating four Bundesliga teams and finally won the championship.

And isn’t this what Paris Saint-Germain pursues? Perhaps, if you beat four teams in the same league, you deserve some benefits, right? Now, Paris Saint-Germain is only one step away from the final, and with their performance in recent months, they are really worthy of the first Big Ear Cup in team history.

Finally, let’s talk about something off topic. Is it the limit to encountering 4 teams in the same league in a single season? Under the new competition system, there may be 5 participating teams in some leagues, and if factors such as defending champions are added, there may be 6. Perhaps, in the future, there may be a situation where there will be five teams in the same league in the Champions League in a single season. Let's wait and see.
