The moment they sold Mbappé, they became European challengers
There is so much revisionist history. PSG are hardly serial underachievers. Not counting this season, they've been to two semis and a final in the last five years. And by the time Messi came, PSG were already on the decline. Neymar was older, Thiago Silva had left, Cavani had left…PSG had no choice but to rebuild. They've done a good job, but they need to win the CL before they "surpass" the previous editions of PSG.
Short Answer: Hundreds of Millions of Oil Money.
”Something previous stars didn’t bother with (learning French)” and shows a picture of Zlatan who knows French?!
AND ALSO UNLIMITED MONEY
Learning french would have been the hardest part
their style of play is another thing
An oval shape? Did he never hear of a circle
They have to win this UCL to validate this video, lol
They were runners up. In 2020 too
First time that a young exciting team who makes a European run can actually afford to keep their players and not sell them to the prem and la liga lol
I feel that learning the main language of the team that employ you should be a must when you make a transfer.
Their team was unbalanced with all the superstars and now their team is balanced with team players who will run all day with or without the ball. It's not hard to understand.
5-0
5 -0 đź’€
How they became serious CL contenders?
They got rid of the ego player that demanded the rest of the team to play for him and spend a crapload of money on (near) worldclass players that are willing to play for eachother.
What PSG did is super easy to do in Football Manager. Just do what PSG did. Use the ingame editor to give you a 1 billion transfer budget, set the club reputation to max and sign all the wonderkids.
simply just saying messi didnt wanna make an effort for the team~ i like that
Spending ÂŁ600m in two years probably helped.
Must give some credit to Luis Campos. That's what happens when you have a great sporting director.
The language learning is actually quite smart
1. Money
Messi was holding them back
Sportswashing money, that's how.
Next season they’ll go back to being nobody
Sell ego player it's that all good things
What a scary team of Luis Enrique. Long way to go. Galactico days are gone.
Oh I don't know,maybe the hundreds of millions spent on players?
Tldw; they fixed their fixed their back 4 issues and built a strong midfield
He didn’t drop Kylian? If anything he pushed for him to play after the PSG board basically turned against him for allowing his contract to end, and now Kylian is being used as a scapegoat
