Will PSG break up now?

Big hangover in Paris! The 2-0 defeat in Munich seals the round of 16 for a club that has only dreamed of the Champions League title for years.

In 2020, PSG came closest to that. Since that 0-1 final defeat against Bayern, they got stuck once in the semi-finals and twice in the eighth finals.

Sporting failure is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many bottlenecks in Paris that – nearly twelve years after the investment group Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) got involved – the question arises whether the Qatari project is currently on the brink of collapse.

Coach again at the end

“We don’t want any more bling bling, no show.” With these words, Nasser Al-Khlelaifi justified the position of Christophe Galtier as a coach in “L’Equipe”. The 56-year-old Frenchman was previously engaged at Nice and Lille. With the Northern French, he sensationally won the championship in 2021, cheated the millions from the capital by forming a sworn unit.

He also received this assignment in Paris. “We want a team that tears itself apart, that identifies strongly with the club and the fans.”

Galtier failed with the round of 16 out. This Paris is still a collection of individualists who depend on the brilliant moments of its stars. If Messi and Mbappé don’t provide the “bling”, little shines at PSG.

To make matters worse, her future in Paris is more than in doubt. Messi’s contract is due to expire, there is talk of a move to Barcelona, ​​Inter Miami or even his home country and since yesterday there has been speculation about a Mbappé penalty. The star striker told Bayern after the game: “For me this season, only the championship counts. Then we’ll see.”

Neymar, who missed Bayern’s match due to one of his many injuries, wants to get rid of the Paris bosses as soon as possible. But because he gets injured so often and earns an astronomical amount (36 million euros a year), there are no interested parties. Who can afford Neymar? Who wants to put up with their capers?

What’s next for Paris?

The Sheikh Club is shaken by several crises at once. Besides football, there are other scandal headlines with the rape allegations against Achraf Hakimi and torture allegations against PSG boss Al-Khelaifi.

And then there is the interest of Qatar in taking over Manchester United. If this deal works, the Paris project could eventually fall apart.
