Chantome excited about Barca test

Paris Saint-Germain defensive midfielder Clement Chantome says his side cannot wait to take on Barcelona in the Champions League.

PSG welcome Barca to Parc des Princes on Tuesday, but first the Ligue 1 leaders face the task of beating Montpellier in the league as they continue the hunt to be crowned champions.

However Friday night’s clash is not on many players’ minds as the excitement begins to build, according to the 25-year-old.

“It’s good for everyone that we can play this kind of exceptional fame. In the locker room, it’s about Barcelona. Everybody thinks (about it),” Chantome told L’Equip.

“In the street, people stop us and tell us that that they even forget the Championship.

“As players, we have never received so many calls from friends to give them places.”
