PSG...European revival

Has anyone noticed that PSG has somehow managed to put themselves in a position to qualify for the Intertoto Cup and potentially a UEFA Cup spot? PSG is currently 8th in the French League, this coming from a team that in the beginning of this lost season were closer to relegation than to Europe.

PSG has the talent: Pauleta, Mendy, Rothen etc to compete in France and possibly in Europe. But the team has gone through the usual ups and downs associated with PSG. Vlad H coached the team into the basement, Rothen missed much of the season, Pauleta was missing balls a striker of his quality should not, the fans were acting like they belonged at San Siro throwing flares. Can PSG rescue something this season? Maybe. But more importantly this rise back up the standings is good for next season. PSG needs to find some stability to compete. Otherwise PSG will once again chase Lyon in vain.
