Paris Saint-Germain is drowning in its doubts before its trip to Salzburg in the Champions League. This Friday against Auxerre (0-0), the Ile-de-France club went its third consecutive match without a victory in all competitions. In a match, although dominated head and shoulders, Luis Enrique’s men failed to find the fault, demonstrating once again their major finishing problems. SinceOpta analyzes the statistics (2006), no team had scored so many shots (11) without finding the fault in a Ligue 1 match.
In a more personal assessment, Luis Enrique has the worst accounting record for a Paris Saint-Germain coach since a certain Antoine Kombouaré in 2011. With 63% of victories in his matches in official competition, compared to 46% for the current coach of the FC Nantes. If the lack of competition on a national scale guarantees Parisians a certain tranquility in Ligue 1, in the Champions League, the situation is quite different. According to forecasts ofOptaParis Saint-Germain would have a 42% chance of finishing outside the top 24 and being directly eliminated from the Big Ears Cup.
