PSG, “the barometer of the season” is fast approaching

If PSG does not reach the Champions League play-offs, their season will be considered a failure. It doesn’t matter what the capital club achieves domestically.

From
the departure of Kylian Mbappé from Paris Saint-Germaina year after those of Neymar and Lionel Messi, the capital club no longer has a global star within its squad. The era of bling-bling seems to be over.

Another major change: the discourse of leaders which consists of no longer making victory a
Champions League a primary objective. A communication strategy which is having an effect with certain supporters, who assure that not qualifying for the play-offs of the competition would not be dramatic.

Jérôme Rothen does not fall into this “trap”.
“I’m afraid that with this speech which says that we no longer really make the Champions League a goal, we will minimize the match against City. I want us to say that we are playing the season in this match. This meeting will be the barometer of the season,” judged the sports consultant on RMC.

It is on Wednesday January 22 that the capital club will face Manchester City at the Parc des Princes. Previously, Luis Enrique’s men will have played against AS Saint-Etienne and Racing Club de Lens in Ligue 1 as well as “Petit Poucet” Espaly in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
