PSG star fears that Celtic have improved since their last encounter

Celtic travel to Parc des Princes on Wednesday to face PSG in the 2nd leg of their Group B Champions League encounter, and will be hoping to do better than the 5-nil loss they suffered at Parkhead in September.

The Hoops are favorites to finish in 3rd place in the standings at the end of the group rounds, and upsetting the French giants could get them closer to sealing the Europa League spot.

Since the 1st leg hammering, Celtic have won 8 and drawn 3 of their subsequent 11 league games, keeping 7 clean sheets in the process, and the results have got PSG star striker Edinson Cavani worrying.

Ahead of Brendan Rodgers’ men visit, the Uruguayan believes the Scottish giants can’t be completely written off considering how they have gotten much better domestically.

Cavani told reporters ahead of midweek’s clash: “Each match is different in the Champions League. And Celtic will play against us with a different face.

“I don’t expect an easy game. Of course, we are a better team but in any 90 minutes, the situation can change.

“We’ve watched Celtic’s last few league matches and it’s not the face they had against us in Glasgow.

“It is not a bad team. And the key for us will be to score early so Celtic will need to react and that will make the match far more open for us.”

The Hoops have since extended their unbeaten domestic run to 64 games at the weekend with a narrow 1-nil victory over Ross County, and will hope to have another crack at attempting to prove themselves against a continental elite when they visit France.
