PSG start their UEFA Champions League adventure on Wednesday evening against Club Brugge away at Jan Breydelstadion.

According to bookmakers and experts, PSG are the main contenders for the Champions League trophy this season.

The Arab owners have once again done an incredible job during the transfer window signing a host of high-profile players whilst keeping their main stars (namely Kylian Mbappe) in the team at the same time.

The French heavyweights now possess arguably the best attacking trio in the history of the game with the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe up front.

A weaker PSG side (on paper) has bagged five goals past Club Brugge when they last visited Jan Breydelstadion two years ago, also in the group phase of the UEFA Champions League.

Considering their form at the beginning of the season and the gulf in quality between these two teams, we can hardly expect any other outcome this time around.

PSG will travel to Belgium on the back of a perfect Ligue 1 record with five wins in the opening five rounds of the new season.

The latest of the victories came on Saturday afternoon when the Parisians bagged four unanswered goals past newly-promoted Clermont.

They did it without Messi and Neymar who have both passed fitness tests in the meantime and are available to return for this Champions League affair.

Club Brugge did produce a decent Champions League campaign last year (beating Russian Zenit twice and holding Lazio to two draws), but they failed to make it out of the group phase.

Although they got off to a somewhat slower start to the new domestic season with four wins in seven rounds, Philippe Clement’s men still occupy the very top spot in the First Division standings.

巴黎圣日耳曼将于周三晚上在扬·布雷德尔球场开始他们的欧冠之旅，对阵布鲁热俱乐部。

根据博彩公司和专家的说法，巴黎圣日耳曼是本赛季冠军联赛奖杯的主要争夺者。

阿拉伯俱乐部老板在转会窗口签下了一大批备受瞩目的球员，同时保留了他们的主要球星(即姆巴佩)，这再一次令人难以置信。

这支法国重量级球队现在拥有可能是足球史上最好的进攻三人组，前锋包括莱昂内尔·梅西、内马尔和基利安·姆巴佩。

两年前，同样在欧冠小组赛阶段的布雷代尔球场，实力较弱的巴黎圣日耳曼队(纸面上)已经超过了布鲁日队5个球。

考虑到他们在赛季初的状态和两支球队之间的差距，我们很难期待这次的结果。

巴黎圣日耳曼将带着新赛季前五轮五胜的完美法甲纪录前往比利时。

最近的一次胜利发生在周六下午，当时巴黎人在对阵新升班马克莱蒙特的比赛中攻入四粒未被攻破的进球。

他们在没有梅西和内马尔的情况下做到了这一点，他们都已经通过了体能测试，可以参加欧冠比赛。

布鲁日俱乐部在去年的欧冠比赛中确实表现不错(两次击败俄罗斯泽尼特，两平拉齐奥)，但他们没能在小组赛阶段出线。

尽管他们在新赛季的开局有些慢，七轮四胜，菲利普·克莱门特的球队仍然占据着甲级联赛的榜首位置。
