Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Gerard Houllier has revealed his pleasure at Ligue 1 finally having a team that are competing with some of Europe's biggest clubs.
As a young coach, Houllier guided PSG to the French top flight and he has now shown his pride with the club featuring in the latter stages of the Champions League.
"It's a different club. But football has changed as well. When you look at the big guns like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester... the two Manchesters," Houllier told The Ligue 1 Show.
"So, Paris is in that league, in that category now, and this is what we should be very pleased with because we have in France a club that competes with the top top."
Laurent Blanc's side are currently locked at 1-1 with Chelsea following the first leg of their last-16 tie.
