Bayern eliminated PSG in the Champions League

He Bayern won this Wednesday 2-0 in psgwith goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry sealed their passage to the quarterfinals Champions League and another failure of the Parisian team in the most important club competition.

After the first period in which Bayernwho won 0-1 in the first game, played quite aloof, in the second he pressed and was much better than psg. On the global scoreboard, Bayern beat PSG 3-0.

He Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) He collided again with his worst nightmare, a European failure that for the eleventh time since the Qatari’s arrival in the French capital in 2011 has risen like a wall to stop the ambition of a club with more money chasing champions League.

For the fifth time in the last seven years, psg He cannot get past the European qualifying round, despite having Kylian Mbappé, perhaps the fittest player at the moment, and Lionel Messi, the most successful of all time.

None of this serves to turn the French team into the necessary machinery to conquer Europe and this new premature elimination will once again open the abyss of doubt at the club.

WILL GALTIER CONTINUE?

First of all, a coach Christopher Galtierwhich he had already released french cup and that now the league remains his only goal, too little booty for all the troops he commands.

The French coach, questioned for his lack of experience on such a high bench, will have few arguments to refute the criticism and will live with a trail of rumors about the identity of his replacement until the end of the season.

As happened to his predecessors, from the Spaniard Unai Emery, the German Thomas Tuchel or the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, Galtier failed to provide a team full of stars with a clear and recognizable identity. The weight of the constellation surpassed the collective game.

But the French coach is signing one of the worst European careers in recent years Pariswith four wins, two draws and two painful defeats against Bayern.

WILL MBAPPE CONTINUE?

Just pushing mbappe it seemed capable of carrying the whole network of figures gathered in Paris, but the blow of the French attacker was not enough to subdue Bayernthe same thing that happened a year ago against Real Madrid.

The new failure will reopen the question of his continuity, no matter how much I assured the player this Saturday that his future will be in Paris It does not depend on the Champions League.

After the rebuilding soap opera in the first half of 2022, the next season will be decisive. Mbappé has signed for two seasons, with the option of an additional year if both parties agree. In other words, the footballer would be released again, as he wants, in June 2024, which could open the door to his earlier departure if PSG wants to do something for his transfer.

WILL MESSI CONTINUE?

Nor does this elimination help the continuity of Leo Messi, who ends his contract this year if the season option they agreed upon is not activated.

If his rebuild seemed complete before the World Cup, Argentina’s triumph in Qatar seems to have complicated matters for FIFA’s recently voted best player in the world.

The man from Rosario refuses to sign a new contract, and the club seems less willing to give him a blank check, which could spell the end of the Argentine star in the American League.

The new European setback will also have financial consequences, as the club will stop pocketing tens of millions of euros, at a time when its accounts are under a magnifying glass. Uefa which raises the question of whether the salaries of its stars destabilize the so-called financial “fair play”.

Having presented some red figures of 370 million in the accounts for 2022, which include a large part of the incentive to convince Mbappé to renew, the club reckons that this season the losses will be between 100 and 150 million, depending on the players they can leave at the end of the exercise .
