Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has warned that Manchester City will find things tough when they face French side Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions league tonight.
Lampard is optimistic that Paris Saint-Germain are favourites of the ongoing campaign, and urged Manuel Pellegrini’s men to put in their best in a game in which they are underdogs.
City reached the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier competition for the first time after recording a comfortable 3-1 victory over Dynamo Kiev in the last 16.
However, the French champions looked far more impressive in seeing off Chelsea, progressing 4-2 on aggregate after triumphing 2-1 in both legs.
The New York City FC midfielder told Goal.com that Blanc’s men have all it takes to win Europe’s biggest football trophy in the ongoing campaign.
“Man City certainly have a chance, but it’s a really tough game. I was very, very impressed with PSG in the games against Chelsea and I think they’re a very strong team,” he said.
“I think Barcelona are by quite a bit the standout favourites for most people this year, but PSG have a real chance with the players they have.
