In her sports editorial, Virginie Phulpin confronts Paris Saint-Germain, the new world, with Manchester United, the old world.

The two clubs are opposed on Tuesday evening as part of the first day of the Champions League.

The Champions League starts tonight.

A first for Rennes which receives Krasnodar.

For PSG, it's usual.

The Parisians welcome Manchester United to the Parc des Princes, and for you, it is as if the new world is welcoming former Virginie Phulpin.

On the one hand you have PSG who dreams of a bright future and on the other Manchester United who are nostalgic for their glorious past.

The two clubs do not experience the present moment exactly the same.

Let the Parisian supporters not get upset, I know the club is 50 years old and has a real history.

But I am not insulting anyone, and especially not the future, if I say that it is above all now that we expect to see it shine in Europe.

While Manchester United has already, and often, dominated the continent, but today the club is not even the best in its city.

Manchester City are largely ahead.

We do not recover like that from the end of the cycle Sir Alex Ferguson.

The iconic coach led his team to the top, but today is the air hole.

I'm not sure that PSG have really found the coach of their dreams in the person of Thomas Tuchel, but the dynamics are on the Parisian side.

And no matter the bad memories.

Yes, Manchester United came to punish Paris in the round of 16 of this Champions League a year and a half ago.

But that was in the world before.

Since then, the Parisians have conquered their demons and reached the final of this competition.

Their opponent did not even participate in it last season.

Edinson Cavani will not play for Manchester United against PSG

We will therefore not be entitled to the eternal story of the ex who scores a goal against his former club.

The Parisians do not even have what to play to scare themselves, it is not very funny the new world.

Joking aside, in itself, Edinson Cavani is a symbol between PSG and Manchester United.

He is the top scorer in the history of Paris St Germain.

It was there that he spent his best years as a footballer.

Now he has just joined Manchester at 33.

Before, great footballers played at United at their peak of form, and eventually they came in pre-retirement to Paris.

There it is the opposite.

Moreover Paul Scholes, a legend of the English club, criticized the arrival of Edinson Cavani, saying that it would have been a super rookie, but 5 years ago.

All this does not mean that PSG will necessarily win.

Manchester still have some very good players, and can pull off a one-night stand.

The new world is one where Paris is an ogre and Manchester a little thumb.
