From the archives: Where Barca could hurt PSG, where Bayern are going so wrong and three managers for Ajax to consider

Time for the #TFAArchives!

Each day, Fintan O’Reilly gets deep into the 10,000+ articles we’ve written on TFA over the years and pulls out a few that might be of interest based on current events and news.

Ahead of their UEFA Champions League meeting with Barcelona on Wednesday, PSG dropped points versus Clermont Foot at the weekend. Before their previous Ligue 1 clash with Marseille, we highlighted some weaknesses in Luis Enrique’s side. Did Clermont exploit these areas at the weekend and can Barca do the same in Europe?

Heidenheim have become the latest Bundesliga side to claim FC Bayern’s scalp with a surprise 3-2 win at the weekend. Ahead of their trip to North London to face Arsenal on Tuesday, check out our analysis of where Thomas Tuchel’s side are failing.

Feyenoord thrashed Ajax 6-0 in the Eredivisie. We already know John van ’t Schip will not be the Amsterdam side’s manager next season — could they have their eye on any of the three we highlighted as viable candidates for the Johan Cruyff Arena hot seat back in October?

Midtjylland picked up a big win over Aarhus Gymnastikforening at the weekend, putting them top of the Danish Superliga Championship Round table. Can Thomas Thomasberg lead them to league title glory this term? We examined his rebuild of Ulvene ahead of the 2023/24 campaign last summer.

And that’s it for today – we’ll be back in the morning with the latest analysis.
