In a group with the two giants PSG and Arsenal, Swiss will be extremely hard to make his way to 2nd place, which would guarantee them a place in knockout competitions most important inter-clubs. With a performance unconvincing in the home draw with Ludogorets (1-1) and a defeat at the Emirates (2-0), Urs Fischer’s boys will compensate the current situation, producing a surprise Parc des Princes.
