The ambitious Paris Saint Germain team started their performance in the Champions League with a loss, as they were defeated 2:3 by Liverpool in an away match on Tuesday.
The French team managed to equalize the score (2:2), but a goal by R.Firmino at the end of the match allowed the "reds" to triumph.
After the game, PSG forward Edinson Cavani disagreed with the idea that the French championship is inferior in strength to other TOP 5 leagues.
"The best European teams play in the Champions League and when you face them, someone wins and someone experiences failure.
I would like to see how Premier League teams would play in Ligue 1. Then we could evaluate their strength.
I would not underestimate this league, as the French national team is now the world champion, and many of its players compete in their homeland's championship.
Ligue 1 teams have been reaching the further stages of the Champions League for several years in a row. So, I think that's football," - said E. Cavani.
