Joe Cole Says PSG Can Win the Champions League This Season
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has thrown his support behind Paris Saint-Germain to go all the way and lift the UEFA Champions League trophy this season.
Sharing his thoughts after PSG booked a spot in the semi-finals, Cole praised the club’s new direction and team structure, saying the French side is finally on the right track to conquer Europe.
PSG edged past Aston Villa with a 5-4 win on aggregate, having secured a 3-1 victory in the first leg before losing 3-2 in the return match at Villa Park.
Next up for Luis Enrique’s side is a semi-final clash against either Arsenal or Real Madrid, while Barcelona—who knocked out Dortmund—will take on Inter Milan or Bayern Munich.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Joe Cole reflected on PSG’s past struggles in the competition and commended the club’s transformation.
He said the team no longer relies solely on star power but now plays as a unit, which gives them a real shot at the title.
“They’re on the right track,” he said. “I really believe they can win it this time. I’m all in.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
