The football present of PSG It is a central theme on the front pages of the major French media. The resounding fall before Bayern Munich by Champions League in the Parque de los Príncipes, the agonizing victory once morest Lille thanks to a great goal from Lionel Messi from a free kick and the appearance of the club’s Sports Director Luis Campos on the field to give directions to Cristophe Galtier’s face are clear symptoms of the deep identity crisis of the French club. In this context, the journalist who knows the most regarding the Parisian team, Florent Tourchut, ensured that the whole of the capital “it’s a cabaret”.
The great impact generated by the bad start to the year of the PSG takes place above all because the second half of 2022 was very good, with the trident Messi-Neymar-Mbappé at the peak of his performance and predicting that he will fight for the Champions League until the end. But in the first match of a single-elimination series, there were more doubts than certainties, more than anything in the game of the team led by Galtier.
Although the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement seemed to give the squad what it needed to definitely make the most of the constellation of stars that make it up, following the World Cup the image is completely reversed.
In this last time, PSG was left out of the French Cup following losing 2-1 in the round of 16 once morest Olympique de Marseille. Then, fell 3-1 to AS Monaco in Ligue 1, contest in which he continues to be the leader. Now added the 1-0 loss in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 once morest Bayern Munich and at home, while last weekend a heroic Messi had to put on the superhero cape to manage to keep the three points once morest Lille in an agonizing way.
