It'll be really interesting to see how PSG does given the fact they haven't played a competitive match since March. I do seriously hope they go down in flames!
Me too, but man, they probably got the easiest draw. Atalanta in the quarters and Leipzig/Atletico in the semis.
Leipzig may be a shell of itself by the time the competition resumes. Timo Werner's transfer to Chelsea is a massive blow, obviously, but more losses could be coming. Their best CB Upamecano is a target for several clubs right now, although Leipzig aren't willing to budge on the release clause and it may be too high for all but Chelsea and their endless Russian money. They also have two key players on loans (Schick, from Roma; Angelino from City) that they're trying to get extended, but if the deals fall through it'll be a pretty big loss. They also will have not played for nearly 7 weeks when Aug 13 rolls around thanks to the Bundesliga's earlier start and end.
