Paris Saint-Germain Lens postponement Liverpool GFX

PSG are shameless for invoking Hillsborough in Ligue 1 fiasco

Paris Saint-Germain are the best side in European football. They are the current holders of the Champions League for good reason, boasting top-line talent that fights for one another as a proper team and not like their faux-Galacticos of the past. In the dugout, they are led by one of football's brightest minds and most-respected man-managers. But the legitimacy of their title defence is now being rightly called into question.
