Manchester City have been drawn with French side Paris Saint-German, in the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League and this is really a tight encounter for both sides.
City are the burden bearers of England, being the only English team left in the tournament after United, Chelsea, and Arsenal were shown the way out, no thanks to Wolfsburg, PSG and Barcelona who did the damage.
Manchester City are playing in the quarter-final for the first time and Pellegrini may hope to extend this feat for the club by securing a semi-final place as well.
Unfortunately, PSG who have suffered at this stage of the tournament in the hands of Barcelona on two occasions must have heaved a sigh of relief when the draw was done, hoping to also get a semi-final ticket at the expense of City.
City have 35% chances of edging out PSG at this stage, considering the fact that PSG is the only club in Europe to have won their home league with eight matches left.
However, City who are on the fourth position in their domestic league are still struggling to maintain the top four position, and this could cause some distractions for them in Europe.
PSG played a key role in knocking Chelsea out of the Champions League, and will not hesitate to do same to any English side who stand on their way as they aim to reach the final.
