PSG Champions League campaign a 'new book' for coach Galtier
Christophe Galtier is relishing leading PSG in the Champions League after they were drawn against Juventus in the group stage.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier says the upcoming Champions League campaign will be a "new page" for the club but a "new book" for himself having learned the identity of their group stage opponents.
PSG were pitted against Juventus, Benfica and Maccabi Haifa in Group H in Thursday's draw as the club once again try to finally end their wait to lift European club football's most coveted prize.
Galtier does have previous experience of the Champions League, coaching Lille in the 2019-20 competition. However, being at the helm of a club expected to contend to win the tournament is a new experience for the former Saint-Etienne and Nice boss.
Asked how he is feeling ahead of his second Champions League campaign, Galtier said: "It's a new page for PSG, it's a new book for me. I am very motivated and determined while staying focused. When you are the PSG coach, you want to be involved in these type of games.
"We know about the exposure and pressure in these games, I have not really felt it yet, but it will come. I'm looking forward to it, being involved in the competition and these big European evenings."
PSG are set to face an extremely congested fixture list as they juggle domestic and European commitments before the pause for the World Cup in November.
