[@lucaslonchampt613]

I said it on a different channel, but it's worth repeating It has been 10 years since I've watched PSG dominate my league. Ligue 1 desperately needs at least one team to challenge consistently PSG because we see how they can coast in the season because they have the talent. They have been awful this year, yet are still going to be the champions. Meanwhile, they have never put in place any kind of club identity in that locker room. It's just a revolving door of coaches and mercinaries. And their recruiting in the off season was odd. Messi is a great, fantastic name, but at his age, he was not going to fit in well with Mbppe, Neymar and all the attacking talent now stuck to the bench. Why was Donnaruma brought in when you already had a world-class goalkeeper? It's a club with money, but no clear vision

PSG is the great example that you can't win it all in football just by throwing money at everything you see. You need a vision, a united core, a distinct style of play, a competitive league that keeps the team in top form every week and chemistry between the players.

City ?

@@zackariahjeanyudah7779 City is like a half-PSG. They have a distinct style of play under Pep and a competitive league, but they still lack that team building other top teams have, kind of the reason why they don't have a Champions League yet, but are always closer to winning it, (and probably eventually will) than PSG.

[@Noobie2k7]

@@_MrMoney personally these days the Prem isn't that competitive. There's Man City, Liverpool and then a huge gap and then maybe 3 more teams then another huge gap and then everyone else. The Prem right now is basically early 2010's La Liga.

@@Noobie2k7 The Prem is really competitve and always has been, if you compare it with Ligue 1 there's a huge difference. If the top 5 teams in France excluding PSG were to play in England they probably would end around the mid-table.

I think the main problems PSG have to achieving (in Europe) are: the French league is relatively weak so they are not truly tested week to week, and secondly, they keep throwing money at big name superstars who are not prepared to work hard, and because the league is weak, they don't need to work hard. This means that when the going gets tough, PSG can't compete with the other big European teams, who not only have quality, but can also put in a big performance under pressure.

[@ffdp8126]

Another problem with the PSG squad that wasn't mentioned in the video is their temper tantrums they like to throw. Some of the players (Neymar, Kimpembe and Mbappé) are well known to not being able to handle frustration in game, drawing unnecessary and horrendous fouls resulting in them being send off. So as you said, they crack under pressure both performance wise as well as regarding their temper. I think that's a big factor as well as your already mentioned points.

[@lukew6725]

I disagree. There have been times where Barcelona and Real Madrid have been running rings around the other teams in La Liga but they still performed in the Champions League.

[@Julian-qm8ws]

35:10 It is also worth mentioning that OGC Nice's keeper (Marcin Bulka from Poland) was loaned from PSG only to kick them out of Coupe de France... Man PSG is something different sometimes. Great video as always, sending good vibes from Gdansk.

[@tjwhisenhunt1089]

Thats what they get for ruining Krychowiak. If only he stayed at Sevilla 😢

[@thewhitejackharlow]

that happens to big clubs constantly, for example it feels like every single La Liga team has a product of either La Masia or the Castilla on the pitch at all times. Every time a big team loses to a former player you can laugh at them and say they made a mistake by selling that player, but the truth is that running a big club is a constant process of talent evaluation, which is very fucking difficult considering how quick things move at the top. Also, even though Bulka won one game against psg, will he win many more times? No. Will he ever be good enough to play for psg? Absolutely not. It was the right decision for both parties that he left.

[@Julian-qm8ws]

​@@thewhitejackharlow Lmao how salty can you be. Stop disrespecting Marcin Bulka you swine. He's only 21 and he carried his team in penalty shootout against infinite money glitch club. Also he's a Chelsea Academy player xD Also show me another "Champion's League Titan" losing penalty shootout in domestic cup to keeper they loaned. Mr. "That happens to big clubs constantly"

[@thewhitejackharlow]

@@Julian-qm8ws I feel like you missed the point. Im not being disrespectful to him, just realistic. Only the best get to play for PSG, its unlikely hell ever be good enough. Thats not a shot at him. Also ”infinite money glitch club” are you a child?😂 And by telling me hes from Chelseas academy, youre proving my point, again. Big clubs cant keep all their academy products since they cant have a 50-man squad, so they keep the best ones. Bulka has now left 2 top teams, because he was deemed surplus. Also, i didnt mean exactly the goalkeeper in a penalty shootout, more like just a player in the opposing team but sure i can find you examples of goalkeepers against their former teams in penalty shootouts if you want me to. I dont understand why you had to insult me, i guess your polish pride was a bit too fragile lol.

PSG is even a greater failure than you think... Ile de France Region where Paris sit in is today the most prominent high level football players factory in a world but none of these talents play for PSG (except Mbappe and for not too much time) although some have gone through the PSG academy. Even Mbappe who was trained in Clairefontaine and born and raised in Parisian suburb of Bondy was a produce of Monaco youth academy. And you have players like Coman, Nkunku Maignan who are french internationals and top level players produced by PSG youth academy but who don't play anymore in PSG. The problem of the PSG is the lack of local feeling about this club, inner Paris isn't a true football city but the suburbs it's a complete other history. The Qatar don't understand how he can use this gold mine of talents before just throw money out of windows.

PSG is the worst kind of football club. A club with only one goal in mind, but takes no time to plan how to get there, and unsparingly fall short every time. Their recruiting is on par with a twelve year old playing FM with unlimited budget, spending billions on big names that the manager didn't ask for nor the squad needs, and then make him the scapegoat for the team's shortcomings in the Champions League (Pochettino, Ancelotti, Emery, and Tuchel). The locker room is an endless cycle of overinflated egos who want to win, but don't want to work to get there. The ignorant higher ups are the ones truly at fault for every shortcoming the club has. They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again.

[@adanjaimes2961]

Holy shit dude u nailed it🙏🏻

[@mrkrabs8112]

The Qatari owners are never gonna sell..... They made a brand out of a club no one knew a decade ago. With big name players, they make money. They won't sell cause everyone loves money.

[@SkeledroMan]

Qatar are part way through building all new training facilities and have plans to enlarge the stadium so i don't think they will sell any time soon. I don't want Qatar to leave until they've upgraded the Parc des Princes to 80000 seats, and maybe bought the stadium so that the club gets all the ticket money. No matter how much of a mockery the qatari ownership make of the club right now, i know it will be better off in the long term with their spending on club infrastructure and global marketing. Let's just hope they don't stay too long once all that is complete.

This statement is the one of someone who doesn't rly follow football but just repeat casual takes from ppl who watch PSG 2 times a year and follow the club's news through dramas that are often invented, always exaggerated by medias looking for buzz. I'm not saying that PSG is a perfect club that does everything right and yes there is legit aspects on which you can criticize how things are done, but you have to be serious for 2 secs... Football is football, it's been rly often that the whole story could have been totally different for PSG : the elimination in 2019 against United for example is one of the unluckiest game of football i've ever seen (and Klopp agrees with me) and people tried to draw a ton of conclusions out of that game because this is how football works and the reason why we love it. All i want to say is : you can criticize PSG, but if you are saying relevant things, because right now you're just the typical example of the football casual who will join the global trashtalk on players/teams that are underperforming and scapegoated, and then act all surprised when you realise they are actually good players that you've just never see perform, in football the popular opinion ain't necessarily the right one. Football is a complex combination of a ton of factors that you have to perfect to be the best team in the world, and in the end everything's played on details. There is a ton to learn about football, and the more you'll learn about it, the more you'll understand that it's unpredictable and impossible to draw conclusions about it. You wrote this : "They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again." so let me respond : - French football is literally one of the best in the world if not the best nowadays lol i don't rly see who "looks at it as a joke" - I am a PSG fan and I don't want the Qatari ownership to sell, you don't know how much they brought to the club. As soon as they arrived they made long term investments that will help the club for decades and made PSG a huge brand that can now generate the same revenues as the biggest clubs itw. On the sportive side they made PSG relevant in every sports and made sure to re-establish the relation with the ultras after there were banned from stadiums. Thanks to them i've seen Messi, Mbappe, Neymar etc... playing football in front of my eyes and you don't realize how insane it is. - You comparing PSG with these teams is really dumb because : 1) PSG had never been the "most talented team itw" lmao they have always been better superteams these past years, especially in modern football where you have a ton of teams who are world class and can aim for the ucl unlike 10 years ago when u had 2/3 teams who were really untouchable every season. 2) Real Madrid literally did what PSG did except they did it even worse in an era without ffp or other superteams competing and it hasn't always succeeded neither 3) Bayern is bullying bundesliga which is a playing ground for ex-Ligue 1 players so idk what u r on, PSG winning the league hasn't stopped it from being a competitive league producing the best players itw. 4) Do i really have to talk about Barca ? lmao

[@gowthamarao2003]

@@Jeunelegende91 Real Madrid always bought from money they generated. PSG just throws money they get from quatar(they are in loss and and are now throwing huge cash at mbape). Earned vs spoiled...I don't know how the locals stomach this, I guess they sold out for fame.. And the projects, just wow. Even though man c is also an oil club, they have structure and stability. The ownership is not egotistic maniacs with uefa in pocket who are just looking at projecting the image of a big club with irrelevant signings. Man c have a sporting project and a plan. Psg is a dumpster fire.

Its interesting in my team in Cyprus is Hervin Ongenda. He was meant to make it to the very top but his career stalled at a point where he came to a Romanian club being overweight. He had a chance for a move to Italian Chievo Verona but it didnt work out. Now he is in Cyprus trying to rebuild his career where he can get back into european football. Such a shame he was meant to be the next big thing

In 2019-20 they beat dortmund, and then in 2023-24 dortmund humilliate PSG.

[@captaincortez4917]

Returning to this after they bottled it against Dortmund, and I am freaking pissed at this team. All of that money and all of that talent and you only have *ONE* UCL Finals appearance in 12 years? And that was in a COVID year with opponents below PSG's level (Dortmund, Atalanta & Leipzig). Let's just list the famous names who played (and/or still play) for PSG in these 12 years: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, David Luis, Marco Verratti, Angel di Maria, Julian Draxler (before he fell to shit), Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Idrissa Gueye, Gianluigi Buffon, Kevin Trapp, Gianluigi Donnaruma, Sergio Ramos, Georginho Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Lionel Messi, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marquinhos and so much more. All of that talent... And you have less UCL Finals appearances in the last 12 years than *Dortmund.* You know, the team known for bottling the Bundesliga last year? With old men Mats Hummels and Marco Reus? How in Qatar's name you made *Nicklas Füllkrug* into a God? And the best part? Mbappe's leaving after this season. I would say you're fucked, but that would probably be a compliment. This team is fucking pathetic...

A strong domestic competition is what pushes the best teams to become even better. An excellent example is Bayern from 2011-2013. They got humiliated by Dortmund two years in a row but they did come back stronger than ever before and crushed everyone in the 2012-13 season. Also the classico rivalry is what makes both Real and Barca some of the most successfull clubs ever. Same story with all the big ones in England. PSG completely lacks this. They play without much effort against the other french teams. All their overpaid superstars are bored in these matches, thats why they loose some of them in a laughable way. Then they suddenly got to behave and focus against strong opponents in the CL, but their opponents are much more disciplined from the hard matches they got in their leagues. Its like gaining muscles. PSG always does the same easy workouts which dont push them to improve. Their CL opponents on the other hand often got to push themselves over their limits to succeed.

[@usersixnine347]

But psg can and has lost the league before. This argument does not make much sense, because Bayern win the bundesliga every year and is also called a farmers league. The bundesliga is better than ligue 1, but ligue 1 is still a top 5 league. Bayern still has relatively easy competition in the bundesliga and they still win the ucl. I don’t think the issue is the league. The issue is psg itself, lmfao.

[@usersixnine347]

Not to mention, let’s also take all the ucl winners from OUTSIDE the top 5 leagues as well. Ajax, etc, you can’t tell me the eredivisie is a strong league. Ligue 1 is only weak compared to the other 4 leagues, but they are still at number 5. Meanwhile Ajax plays in a truly weak league and theyve won the ucl. It’s psgs fault, no one else. Psg is simply a club that always bottles it. They are the Tottenham of France.

[@gothia6515]

@@usersixnine347 I took Byern from 2011-2013 as example. Not Bayern since then.

[@usersixnine347]

@@gothia6515 yes, but I’m taking Bayern since then who has dominated the bundesliga and yet can still win the ucl. It’s not about your domestic competition if ligue 1 is still one of the top 5 leagues, even if it’s the weakest of the 5. Psg has far too much talent and money to lose. It’s their own fault and no one else’s, not the league.

[@lbsvonzeppe]

Nice essay video ! As always, a really good montage, those 40 minutes were a pleasure to watch ! As a "light" french football fan, mainly following the game through local paper press (because the 2 team i follow the most are in at max French fifth division), the only match i watch are international fixtures and PSG C1 runs. The problems with french football Ligue 1 is that i personally find it boring to watch "19 Eibar" trying desesperatly to win against PSG, selling a mug about it and still manage to loose in a overwhelming fashion. When there's a surprise (Monaco and Lille) they're striped off their best element because they're "too poor" or their executive don't give a shoot. If you watch some videos from Mollina you understand that PSG's org chart is a enormous golden Gordian knot. Every time you see a manager from PSG, they're colorul at the start and slowly become livid as time pass (look at Pochettino's face damn it) before getting fired or fleeing this maze. However i think that for the time being, PSG is the only french club that can do well in C1. I hope that Ligue 1 will one day seize the fourth spot of the UEFA ranking, maybe this mean more visibility for french national football and this will help one way or another those club i follow and those from my region which are struggling so much from low investment and covid 19. But i'm not that dumb, trickle down economy is a fairy tale (also a badly imaginated one) and those club will have to close if there's no political action taken. A pleasure to follow your videos !

[@gontrandjojo9747]

Problem is money. France has incredible pool of talents but when they become good the clubs can't pay their salary anymore and are forced to sell their players (it's either they sell players 10 millions knowing they will be valued 50 millions in few years, or to see them leave on a free and get nothing...). That's the reality of European football. Only a few clubs are looking for titles, the others just try to survive and stay in top tier or at best get a spot for European competition. And the spiral is REALLY hard to break.

[@queenbrightwingthe3890]

PSG is a failure cause they play with no midfield and 3 attackers that spend more time drinking pepsi on the sideline then run back and defend.
