Paris Saint-Germain left the Champions League through the back door at the hands of Real Madrid. Now, many questions are making their way into the French press after the meltdown at the Santiago Bernabéu.
This exclusion raises many doubts about the future of a club where changes will inevitably occur. Complicated weeks await them, with no incentive other than the Ligue 1 title they take for granted.
Mbappe’s future
For the time being, it seems impossible to continue and as they say in France: “The Emir of Qatar should only give him the Eiffel Tower.” You can’t give more to the French player, the best footballer in the world. Not satisfied with so many unfulfilled promises, he saw yesterday that greatness cannot be bought with the stroke of a checkbook. If he had any doubts about his future, Real Madrid squandered them yesterday with a remontada from those that go down in history.
Haaland’s Cucumber
With Kylian possibly gone, PSG will have to consider an alternative plan. Al-Khelaifi will bet on another player who has a lot of guts to renew a team that lacks action. He wants Haaland like City, Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the Norwegian also saw what happened last night. This defeat in the Champions League could make any player think before making the move to play for Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi is doomed to stay
Although the Argentine has not found happiness at Barcelona, he will have no choice but to stay at PSG next season. Under the contract he signed, the Paris team will not let him go while the World Cup in Qatar is around the corner. Although he has lost his magic, his name is still a media attraction they have in Paris to revive the team that next year will try again to crown the Champions League.
From Pochettino to … Zidane?
The Argentine coach won’t be fired immediately, but it’s a predictable death story. Leonardo said last night that he is the one chosen for the project but that in June the divorce will be announced between the two parties.
Zidane plays again in the background, which Paris Saint-Germain puts as the first choice on the bench. A decision also throws in the departure of the team’s sporting director, which will also likely end with Zinedine leaving his post.
