The 0-1 defeat at home is a blow for the team of Messi, Mbappé and Neymar, who will have to turn the tide in Germany. Some French media already consider them eliminated.
Neymar, Messi and Mbappé look at each other in Paris. The defeat of the Gauls in the first leg of the round of 16 hits PSG hard and the stars know it. The French press too. This is why the criticisms were not long in coming and the specialized media launched all their artillery against the petrodollar team.
Even Zidane’s name has appeared among the news as in the French capital the situation looks critical if Messi’s side fail to get past the knockout stages. The return is in three weeks, but the tension is total.
This is why Le Parisien had no doubts in the headline of the JT “Paris on the edge of the void”, a strong phrase which sums up everything PSG is at stake against Bayern Munich. The newspaper of the capital looks at it and exposes the complications that the current technician is going through. “This considerably weakens the position of Christophe Galtier, because he is a coach who does not win, at the head of a team which expresses itself badly and for which he can no longer find a solution to change it. Especially with Zidane free and on standby “, they write.
Maxifoot, on the other hand, was more neutral and although he said PSG were playing very poorly, he also admitted that their rivals didn’t offer much more. “A disappointing first leg in the knockout stages of the Champions League. This meeting really struggled to get carried away between two technically imprecise teams. Even in the rhythm, the game was irregular with many faults. Uninspired offensively, the two teams have rarely been dangerous for long “, they delimit.
For their part, World Eleven gives those in Paris almost as many qualifiers and they admit that what will be experienced in three weeks forces a “colossal feat ”. They even dare to say that “history leaves him absolutely no chance”
“The PSG is simply doomed to the exploit, except that the story is ruthless with the Parisians. Indeed, never in the history of the Champions League has a French club, having lost its first leg at home in a knockout match, managed to qualify for the second leg. PSG is therefore doubly dedicated to a great feat “, they expose.
