PSG will never win anything, they think Qatar doesn't care

Following Manchester City’s first crowning in the Champions League, should Paris Saint-Germain draw inspiration from the model of the Citizens to finally climb to the roof of Europe? Mission impossible for Grégory Schneider.

Until now, the club from the French capital often hid behind Manchester City to excuse its failures in the Champions League. But since Saturday evening, this excuse is no longer valid. Since after a first failure in the final in 2021, Pep Guardiola’s Citizens finally won the grail on Saturday evening by dominating Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul (1-0). A coronation that brings Man City into the big European clubs, especially since the Mancunian club had a crazy season between the Premier League title and the FA Cup victory. Fallen finalists in 2020, PSG now dream of emulating City in the coming seasons. But is this possible in the current state of the Qatari project? Grégory Schneider thinks not.

“PSG is not made to win titles! »

“You start from a premise that I find curious, which is that PSG is made to win matches and titles. I don’t think so, it’s not a club made for that, but it’s made to shine. To win a Champions League, you need a great goalkeeper, and PSG waited until 2017 before taking on a top goalkeeper, that is to say Navas. For six years they played with average keepers. Afterwards, when Paris takes Messi, it has nothing to do with the competitiveness of the team, at any time. PSG already had Mbappé, who does not run, and Neymar, who runs as he wants. So if Paris wanted to strengthen to win titles, it was not necessary to take Messi. It is not possible to play eight. PSG is made to shine internationally, for marketing, to get people talking… But PSG is not made to win titles! This is the story told on the pitch for several seasons.launched the Europe 1 consultant, who thinks that PSG will have to completely change its strategy to have its first European star.
