Osvaldo Ardiles' powerful words ahead of facing PSG | OneFootball

Osvaldo Ardiles (72 years old), former midfielder and coach who spent time at Paris Saint-Germain, spoke in the mixed zone after the Champions League draw. The Argentine expressed his delight at seeing his former club again and praised PSG, which he considers “the best team in the world.”

The Champions League draw once again puts Paris Saint-Germain on Osvaldo Ardiles’ path. While the former Argentine midfielder shows his enthusiasm, his words also betray a certain apprehension: facing PSG, crowned European champions last season, has become a daunting challenge. Luis Enrique’s team has transformed its status: from a club once expected to win and often mocked for its past failures, it has become a global benchmark, a symbol of collective strength and consistency.

Ardiles acknowledges this without hesitation by calling them the “best team in the world.” Behind this compliment lies the reality of the moment: facing PSG today means going up against a juggernaut whose aura extends far beyond the borders of Ligue 1. Opponents no longer approach Paris with confidence, but with the awareness of an almost insurmountable challenge.
