PSG prepares for a disbandment after the debacle

Each defeat of PSG brings consequences, but if it is in the Champions League, the magnitude rises to the cube. the parisians they fell 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu this Wednesday and they said, in the same way as in previous years, goodbye to the highest continental competition when they had everything to face in the tie. An elimination that could have consequences both at a sports level and at an institutional level.

Beginning with Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine coach practically signed his sentence against Real Madrid and it remains to be seen if Al-Khelaïfi will keep him until the end of the season before dismissing him or, on the contrary, they will fire him two months after the end of this campaign. His poor field direction with a favorable result at the Bernabéu has been the straw that broke the camel’s backWell, the coach was already on the wire having lost the Super Cup in August against Lille and being eliminated from the round of 16 of the French Cup against Nice. Since landing in 2021 in Paris, Pochettino will barely be able to win three titles: two last season (Cup and Super Cup) and one in 2022 except for a capital catastrophe (Ligue 1).

Another of the great victims is Leonardo. the sports director he has lost confidence on the part of Qatar after having harmed PSG with his decisions. First he fired Tuchel after a 4-0 win at the Parc des Princes; later he has not been able to have harmony with Pochettino, who did not want to sign Ndombelé in the last winter market aware that in June he was going to leave the bench. And, in addition, his signings, especially Wijnaldum, Sergio Ramos, Messi (despite his improvement) or Donnarumma himself, seriously pointed out for his mistake with Benzema, have not given him the qualitative leap either What the team asked for. Nor did he want to renew Thiago Silva, a fundamental piece at Chelsea, or Cavani, PSG’s top scorer in history.

Regarding the template, it is evident that PSG will have to do without several players to try to reinforce themselves for the next course. To them it is necessary to add Mbappé, who was, like the whole season, the best player of the Parisians on the pitch. The French international aims to go free in June and both Leonardo and Al-Khelaïfi will have to, or at least come close to, signing a player with characteristics similar to Bondy’s talent.

Of the template, Wijnaldum is one of those who has every chance of leaving Paris in Juneor. The performance of the Dutchman has been quite irregular throughout the season and proof of this is the zero minutes that Pochettino gave him at the Bernabéu. The former Liverpool player has not adapted to Paris, he is not comfortable in the interior position and has never been able to establish himself in the starting eleven. In England they already put him in Newcastle or even Atlético could have been interested in taking over his services.

To Wijnaldum must be added the Sergio Ramos, Di Maria, Draxler or Icardi. The camero was signed to win the Champions League and the reality is that he has not played a game in the highest continental competition with PSG. With respect to Videoalthough the player wants to continue in Paris, the reality is that Leonardo is looking for a replacement (there is talk of Paquetá), in evidence that they do not want to extend his contract. Draxlerwhich renewed in March 2021 until 2024, he has become an inconsequential player for PSG, as well as Icardi, for whom Lenoardo paid €60 million to get rid of the top scorer in the club’s history, Edinson Cavani, and who has gone from being PSG’s star signing to total ostracism. There could also be changes in the goal, since the two consecutive substitutions in the Champions League have surely not been good for Keylor Navas, even more so after Donnarumma’s error in Real Madrid’s first goal.
