Can't just explain what went wrong with Les Parisiens but it seems that the players are not fit or suffering from fatigue. They were relatively outsmarted and bulldozed by the Newcastle player. I know Mbappe can't wait to leave this club because he needs to chase his dreams somewhere else.
PSG is lack of good players, there are still many mediocre players in their club. Take a look with Newcastle where they don't have any super stars, but all their players are in good quality.
I disagree for Mbappe can't wait to leave PSG, if he want to leave PSG, he wouldn't renew his contract until 2026.
PSG will not able to win Champions League as long as they only focus to sign star players.
It is true with what you said that PSG lost good high-quality players this season in contrast to Newcastle who are slowly improving their performances even though only with their players it could be said that none of the top players are that popular.
Previously I thought PSG would be the group leaders by winning every match but this was a bad match because losing 4 - 1 was a humiliating defeat.
I don't know what happened but in the last few matches Mbappe doesn't seem very enthusiastic about winning every match in fact he is usually the most dominant player now only doing his best to keep up with the movements of his teammates.
If they continue to experience conditions like this for longer time in this season maybe for League 1 and UCL they will not get anything and there is no hope that they can have anymore.
Yes it true I also not sure PSG will be able to win the UCL if they still don't make any progress.
At the start of the UCL group phase match I thought PSG could be better but in reality it was all just a dream that was difficult to come true.
PSG making it to the finals is something by this time we should know that it's almost not possible because they are gradually loosing the form required to get such results because the champions league is a very volatile and competitive one moreover if they make it to the round of sixteen, they will have to face even tougher teams which will means they will crash out probably at that point.
Mbappes reluctancy could be traced to the fact that he is gradually becoming wary of the team and will at any opportunity leave to a better and promising team, he has recently had some issues around the team and the team has not really been at their best recently although they started their local league on a good note but are gradually experiencing a decline since the fourth to the seventh weak of the league game.
The loss they suffered against Newcastle was really humiliating and will be spoken about for a long time probably till the week ends and I'm sure it will have some effect on their moral meanwhile Manchester city had it easier wining as compared to Newcastle although the winning margin differed so well but I think Newcastle and Manchester city both had a deserving victory.
Just for comparison last season PSG still had squad with great players there but they also couldn't reach the final for the UCL and could only look so strong in League 1 and even then it seems like only last season will be the last as the strongest, because this season PSG has lost quite lot their abilities are great from the departure of the top players they previously had.
PSG biggest mistake was letting some of these players leave but they didn't immediately make several changes such as looking for other players who could really be relied on for the vacant positions.
This season being able to reach the top eight is an extraordinary achievement for them because when they enter the last 16 there is also the possibility that PSG will fall and be eliminated by other great teams.
Never mind that now there are no big hopes for PSG and I saw that PSG was really scary during the Zlatan Ibrahimovic era.
Mbappe has done lot for PSG but it seems like the team has not made any effort to provide support to Mbappe so he can strengthen the team so it is natural that there are quite obvious differences in play for Mbappe this season.
After their defeat against Newcastle many fans are now starting to think badly about this squad and there is nothing more to expect from PSG.
