- A failed state of mind
Finally, the most encouraging final eliminations in quarters PSG Qatari version remains the first. In 2013, against Barcelona (2-2, 1-1), it took a Lionel Messi off the bench for showering hopes Parisians, who finished unbeaten double confrontation against the Catalans. Last night, with rare exceptions, Parisian players never seemed to take the measure of the event
No impact, lost on the field. – Laurent Blanc strategy certainly did not help them – they did not take control of a game they had to win after the draw in the first leg (2-2). Worse, after the opening goal by the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne to fifteen minutes from the end, no revolt or hopeless attempt has complicated the Mancunian qualification.
kickoff the match, PSG had no calculation to make. To fulfill its self-proclaimed label largest in Europe, had to rein in the opposition and set the pace. The leaders that are supposed to be Zlatan last rookie star, the Argentine Di Maria, or captain Thiago Silva, despite correct delivery on the footballing map for the latter failed to fire their teammates up.
instead, with such low individual performance, it was not possible to produce a successful collective performance. Champions France impressive since mid-March, the evening of the 30 th day, Parisians have failed to manage the month would lead them to the first European semi-final of the Qatari era

- A no championship challenging enough
PSG, too big for France, too small for Europe? The question is attributable to the elimination in the Champions League, arises more than ever this season, where we saw the Parisian club dominate Haxagone as ever: holy in Ligue 1 to eight matches remaining, 28 points ahead of the runner, two losses in 33 games, 83 goals, a goal difference of + 65 (+ 20 against Lyon, second) … inside its borders, PSG crushes rivals. But what rivals
“The PSG is a huge handicap: it is he has no competitor in France , told us earlier this year Bernard Caiazzo President of AS Saint-Etienne. Now stimulates competition at the highest level. In the spring, he will be ready to beat Bayern or Real. “ in retrospect we shudder to think of what a PSG. – Bayern Munich could have, after what we saw against Manchester City, opponent of a much lower caliber
the painful fourth Premier League has rejected the archichampion in Ligue 1, the French and the “Sky Blues” Samir Nasri, last week in the Team , provided an early explanation premonitory: “There are no easy games in England, not one. I’d like to see Paris play a Monday night in Stoke, West Ham or at the Emirates against Arsenal … “

Three days before his crucial trip to Manchester, PSG played Guingamp and won 2-0 with a B team playing while walking. Not sure that the atmosphere of fair afternoons Ligue 1 is an ideal preparation for the fury of the parties of the Champions League.
It is not enough to have the highest payroll of Europe (talking about 275 million euros a year) to build a workforce capable of winning the champions League or even pretend to compete with the giants FC Barcelona, Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.
they left not much there five years ago, the Qatari owners of PSG have not skimped on how to attract celebrities. Thiago Silva and Zlatan in 2012, Cavani in 2013, David Luiz in 2014 or Di Maria in 2015 … The European balance of these recruits, transferred and paid in gold (246 million euros transfer) is well below the expectations.
in the offseason, the arrival of Angel Di Maria for the modest sum of 63 million euros illustrates this. PSG almost any bet on Argentina, yet sinking to Manchester United, and finally author of one large European season at the tenth victory of Real Madrid in the Champions League in 2014.
a disgruntled yet regular Salvatore Sirigu, Parisian leaders recruit the German goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, announced by them as a keeper league level champions. It is clear that, for now, the comparison between the two guards is not to the advantage of the latest arrival.
In addition, the coming of Benjamin Stambouli and layvin kurzawa like DIY . Moreover, while the Parisian midfield was decimated by suspensions (Verratti, Matuidi) and injuries (Thiago Motta, released the 44 th minute), Laurent Blanc, instead of trust his Stambouli rookie, preferred shift for a few minutes the central defender Marquinhos sentry in midfield, and the right side Serge Aurier as a central defender.
Ah, that, in order to triplets face Troyes and Nice, there is the world. To switch a quarter-final of the Champions League … This article may not be exist without the two enormous opportunities botched by Zlatan Ibrahimovic at 0-0 in the first leg: a penalty turned away by Joe Hart and a face- to face full axis completed over the bar.
on the return leg, the Swedish giant has much noticed by his two dangerous free kicks by three positions offside reported. It has often seemed a terrifying casualness, and its impact on the meeting finally approached nothingness. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo crashed three goals to save Real Madrid from elimination against Wolfsburg

This is an old story that you must begin to know: the great Zlatan is no longer at major appointments. In four years in Paris, the Swede will truly marked a decisive confrontation European footprint: the eighth-final against Chelsea last month (2-1, 2-1)
