Second in the standings of Group F of the Champions League with 7 points, Paris Saint-Germain can no longer be eliminated from any European competition in the event of a poor result tomorrow on the pitch of Borussia Dortmund. Paris can even finish the group stage in first place if it beats the Marsupiaux (10 points). But the Rouge et Bleu can above all achieve a sad first under the QSI era.
Indeed, if Luis Enrique’s men do not beat BVB and Newcastle outclass AC Milan at the same time, they will be transferred to the Europa League, which has never happened since the Qataris have owned the club (since 2011). If such a scenario occurred, it would not be the end of the world for the capital club, but it would cause a big financial loss and above all it would be synonymous with new humiliation on the continental scene.
Luis Campos in the viewfinder rather than Luis Enrique
Therefore, certain questions would logically arise. But according to The Team, Paris would have learned from its mistakes. After affirming that the future of Kylian Mbappé would not depend on a hiccup in C1, the daily assures that Luis Enrique would not be threatened. Arriving on the Parisian bench last summer, the Spaniard swore he came for a long-term reconstruction project. Parting with it at the first obstacle, after publicly swearing that the Champions League was no longer an obsession, would not be coherent on paper.
Under contract until 2025, the former La Roja coach could obviously decide to leave the ship on his own, but if he does not resign, it is another man who would pay the price: Luis Campos. Already criticized for his recruitment campaigns last season, the Parisian football advisor knew he was eagerly awaited this season. Last summer, he once again put his relations with Jorge Mendes into full swing to attract players such as Manuel Ugarte, Gonçalo Ramos, Marco Asensio, Cher Ndour and Kang-In Lee after recruiting Carlos Soler, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz or even Renato Sanches last year. Reinforcements with still mixed results for the moment.
