Jay Jay Okocha Believes Paris Saint Germain Can Win Champions League

• Jay-Jay Okocha has tipped Paris Saint-Germain to win the Champions League
• The Nigerian believes Messi, Mbappe and Neymar will all make the difference
• The French champions face Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16

Former Super Eagles captain, Jay-Jay Okocha has stated emphatically that French side, Paris Saint-Germain have quality players to win the Champions League title.

In recent years, PSG have made numerous attempts to become the champions of Europe, but their campaigns have all fallen apart in some way.

Their dominance in France cannot be over-emphasised but translating that success to the continental stage has proven a major challenge.

Okocha is not a stranger to the PSG dressing room, having played for the club between 1998 and 2002 before making a move to the Premier League with Bolton Wanderers.

According to the report by Soccernet, the 49-year-old stated the likes of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Junior can make the difference for the Parisians.

Okocha says PSG needs belief

“I think they bought a couple of players lately that help the younger ones to believe in that too. And I think that is what they are missing right now to win the title: the belief that they can do it."

Okocha pointed out the good impression being made by Messi since his return from holiday after the World Cup victory.

“I would not be at all surprised if he really ignited again this season and helps PSG to the trophy.”

The former PSG midfielder tied the knot with his lover, Nkechi in 1998 and their union has continued to grow in strength, with their marriage also blessed with two children, Ajay and Daniella.

The ex-Super Eagles star's children and wider family were all present at a reception organised to celebrate the lovers, with Okocha and his wife taking to the dance floor for a series of romantic songs.
