Messi and Neymar had two whole seasons to show something. Considering the level of other partners, including Mbappe, Donnaruma, etc. they had everything to achieve something, but in fact it was two disastrous seasons. Why do you think such a team should be given another chance? Messi is old, Neymar is lazy and undisciplined - the fact that they left the club made PSG stronger. If they continue to get rid of brands and continue to buy real players (and not those who have a couple of years left to play before the recession), then this PSG has great prospects (which, by the way, I’m not happy about since I’m against moneybags).

One thing that needs to be highlighted as the reason why PSG failed in European competition is the figure of their coach. Even though Messi, Neymar and Mbappe are fit, the overall performance of the team has never been good. PSG completely wasted money and time by bringing in the best football stars, while they failed to establish a good partnership with a great coach. Of course they had a lot of money, but they failed to bring the success they deserved.

The 2020 Champions League final against Bayern Munich was a truly disappointing flashback for PSG. Even though PSG ultimately had to give up with a score of 0-1 to Bayern Munich, they should have been able to win if they were able to take advantage of the opportunities well. I want to see how far PSG will go with their team this season in the Champions League, Ligue 1 may be theirs again this season.

If the coach was a figurehead, it’s not necessarily his fault or the management’s. What is the likelihood that a serious coach would put Neymar on the bench for violation of discipline? What is the likelihood of Messi getting into the starting lineup and playing more than a half, given that he walks most of the game? I think in the first case 100%, and in the second close to 0% Wink

But they are big brands so the coach did not have the power to act with them as he should have. I don't even blame the management - if the stars are capricious, then the only mistake is signing them. Nothing can be fixed further.
