By AFPMore by this AuthorISLAMABAD, PAKISTANStar-studded Paris Saint-Germain, galvanised by 20-year-old World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe, will lift the Uefa Champions League this season, former French international Nicolas Anelka told AFP. "I said practically at the beginning, when they were in trouble in the group, that they were going to win the Champions League," Anelka declared in Islamabad Tuesday after touching down to promote football in cricket-mad Pakistan. After a hesitant start to their European campaign, with the team lying third behind Liverpool and Napoli in Group C, PSG won their last two group matches to finish top. That's how we manage to weld a group," said Anelka, who had two spells at the Paris club in 1996-97 and 2000-02 either side of stints at Arsenal and Real Madrid. His international career ended when he was sent home from the 2010 World Cup after a bust-up with France coach Raymond Domenech but Anelka said he had "no regrets."
