Paris Saint-Germain have turned down the chance to play against their rivals at the Champions League final, claiming that they were not up to the task.

The French champions have already lost three times this season, with injuries and suspensions hampering their chances of making it to the final again. The team has been struggling to find its rhythm and consistency on the pitch, and they will be looking for some inspiration from their rivals at the Etihad Stadium.

However, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel believes that his side is capable of delivering a strong performance against their compatriots. He said: "I think we're very much capable of doing well against them."

Despite the disappointment, Tuchel's squad remains focused on their own goals and aims to secure their place in the Champions League group stage. They have only two games left before the knockout stages, which means that they need to perform well if they want to avoid elimination.

In conclusion, Paris Saint-Germain have turned down the chance to play against their rivals at the Champions League final, but they remain confident that they can deliver a strong performance against their compatriots. With the team having just one game left before the knockout stages, they must aim to secure their place in the competition.
