For several years, Paris Saint Germain has been armed and prepared with a single objective: to win the Champions League for the first time in its history. Despite the constellation of stars that they put together this season, the French team could not get past the round of 16, losing this week 3-1 to Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu.
According Sports worldtimes of change are foreseen in the whole of the French capital and in the coming months “heads will roll”. One of the main ones would be Neymarwho arrived at the club from Barcelona in 2017 as the key to success and the one appointed to be the heir to Lionel Messi.

One of those sitting in the dock is Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine coach, who came to this key heavily criticized for some poor results, seems to have signed his death sentence and everything indicates that Al-Khelaïfi is looking for a successor for next season. In addition to this setback, the Albiceleste strategist has already suffered the defeat in the Super Cup against Lille and the elimination in the round of 16 of the French Cup against Nice.
On the same line as the coach stands sports director leonardo, who in recent times opted for the signings of Georginio Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos (he practically did not play due to physical problems), Messi or Donnarumma (he had an error in one of Real Madrid’s goals). In addition, he did not want to renew Thiago Silva, who later became an important piece in the Chelsea scheme.
