In the draw, which was held last afternoon, the German champion team will face the team of the French capital, PSG. As for German defender Antonio Rudger, he will now have the opportunity to rejoin his German friends. But the mentality of these two teams has a difference [...]

But on the part of the mentality, these two teams have a huge difference from each other.

One of the characteristics that distance these two clubs is the mentality at merkato's expense.

This summer the SPG team has made the most expensive purchase of world football history with that of Brazilian star Neymar for the figure of 222m euros.

On the other hand, German champions have spent a total of about 103.5m euros on the purchase of four players in this summer's merkato.

Their very philosophy has been the lowest spending on merkato, which has also been confirmed by President Uly Moones' statement: “Spending such large sums is a sign of weakness on the part of clubs”.

Now he will have the opportunity to make the true comparison by seeing how much his players and those of the French capital team are worth.

After the loteut, Italian technician Carlo Anchelotti has praised the group B's opponents, saying that “is a group of very interesting teams where the cover is the SPG's, which I feared most.

It's a pretty good feeling for me to have the chance to play against my former club. The Seltic team has great support from its fiery fans as we all know, while Anderlecht is the champion of Belgium, with considerable potential and a quality not to be overlooked at all.

We'll have the opportunity to fight three different teams, but very difficult”.

In the history of the Champions League, German Bayern champions have fought a total of six times with the SPG team.

At these six meetings the French have achieved their triumph in four. The last match between them was in 2000. As for this group, his opinion has been expressed by German vice captain Thomas Miller, who said:

We're dealing with teams with a lot of potential. However, SPGs should be isolated, who after the most expensive purchase of history pose a huge threat not only to our group, but to all teams, are expected for the Champions League title.

What's most important for us is to go first in this group to pave the way for triumph”.
