Mumbai, October 23: Three games. One win. No goals from the forwards. Judging by Paris Saint-Germain's performances so far, the revamped Champions League format could actually prove to be PSG's salvation because it may have struggled to qualify under the previous group format.

The top eight go direct to the round of 16 in March. Teams ranked ninth to 24th go into the knockout playoffs in February and only the bottom 12 are immediately eliminated. PSG is currently 17th.

Hakimi said the players should have taken their chances better, but PSG coach Luis Enrique was satisfied with how his team played.
