(Reuters) - Paris St Germain manager Unai Emery believes his side face increased pressure to deliver success in the Champions League following their transfer splurge ahead of the season. PSG have never won the Champions League title, nor made the semi-finals since 1995, but expectations have risen since they were bought by Qatari Sports Investment in 2011 and won four of their six Ligue 1 titles since then. "I know it is a big objective for the club, but we are doing and feeling well, the players are doing well but I know it will be difficult," Emery told reporters ahead of their clash with Scottish champions Celtic. "I don't know (if PSG are favourites), but with the players and quality we have we should get close this year." The Scottish side failed to reach the Champions League knockout stages last season but picked up two draws against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
