Their biggest problem was their midfield. They neglected their midfield.Their champions league final midfield was peredes, herrera and Marquinhos. If they had a good midfield they would have won at least one champs league.
Uefa arbitres is the bigest problem and coach
Wtf Marquinhos in midfield feels illegal, I’d say paredes was a good midfielder
Marquinhos prob defensive midfield.
They’ve fallen short because they spend money on the wrong players. SOOOO many forwards and no midfield. When they had an elite attack of Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, they had absolutely 0 midfield. None. What’s the point of having the best scorers if they can never get the ball?
Exactly also Messi and Neymar would never work since neymar changed the way he played from a pure winger in Barcelona to a playmaker in psg. The same position Messi plays. No wonder Messi wasn’t himself in the first year
No it’s because the champions league isn’t won by spending money
@@xfanatick7972yet it did work for a couple of years
@@Alphoric lmfao it’s sad if you actually believe that
@@Alphoric man city + chelsea + real. Difference is Real and City spend their money well
Manchester City is what PSG was supposed to become in European and World club football.
Pep made man city great only if he had broken his rule to sigh former players like we would've seen a very different and scary man city team now
Mancity is nothing without oil money and Pep
115 charges yes
@@peterdean653 cope hard brother
@idkwho7037 we will see how you cope in a few months when City is in League 2 😆
In my opinion: They wasted billions on their signings when they could have invested millions on their academy, ESPECIALLY when the team is located in the greatest youth prospect hubs on the entire continent
And yet everyone keeps saying that all you need to have to win trophies is money🤔🤔
@Brandon-nq7ys If anything, PSG could have won the UCL with a fully-local XI, but they prioritized short-term exposure over a decade & a half of wasted youth prospects who, in today's transfer market, are worth billions. Simons, Nkunku, Diaby, Coman, Maignan, & that's just since Zlatan left
Nasser is the kind of guy who thinks he is the main influential guy in the room, because he has the most expensive watch on his wrist 😂
well said. all the money in the world cant buy you ball knowledge and Nasser is the prime example
he doesn't understand football at all. only kissing the kings ring
Can't buy or fake your way into authentic authority
@@Romess1, uefarealdrid refs and perez are the most coruption in the world
@@jonasdauerbrenner6432, uefa arbitres are always was against psg when psg was played with big clubs like Real, United, and similar big clubs , and some psg coach are the bigest mistake.
In Mbappe's defense, he was pressured into signing a contract extension with PSG in 2022. Al Khelaifi used his connections to get Macron to personally ask him to stay at the club. When your country's president asks you to do something, you can't easily ignore his request.
You actually can. You can tell your president to get fucked. If I was considered one of the best players in the world and my president asked me to stay and we kept getting trounced I would tell him to pound sand. I am going where they have an actual team and chemistry and desire to win. Somewhere like City, Barcelona, Madrid, even Ajax is a better place to be than PSG.
You must not be from the United States 😅
Mbappe stayed yet 2 years because that will be played with Messi
It would be easy to tell Macron to go fuck himself after all the majority of the French population said it in the last election.
Macron married his school teacher. Most in western democracies would view their president asking them to stay as a massive overstep of government.
I think it’s very clear and obvious for many football fans that the PSG project was more about marketing than football. From a marketing perspective, that’s where they did a great job, when you have big names and you were collaborating with the Jordan brand that was a big thing particularly for a football club, but this was never going to translate into success from a footballing perspective which is why nobody should be surprised that despite spending over 2.5 billion on players, they couldn’t win the UCL. Keep in mind that they had big names like: Lionel Messi Neymar Kylian Mbappe Zlatan Ibrahimovic Edinson Cavani Angel Di Maria Thiago Silva Marco Verratti Gianluigi Donnarumma Achraf Hakimi Sergio Ramos etc. not to mention that they had some elite managers as well during this project like Carlo Ancelotti Unai Emery Thomas Tuchel and yet still couldn’t win the champions league.
There was never any question marks surrounding their success in Ligue 1, I mean domestically they’re the best team in France and a level above everyone else financially and they were always going to win the league almost every year (apart from 2017 and 2021 against Monaco and Lille), but the only thing that they were judged off of was the champions league. PSG didn’t have a rich vein of history in Europe and the owners wanted to go after all of these superstars and instead of creating a balanced team where they could focus on developing players and give the youth a chance, they created an environment where the players that they were signing were mercenaries who prioritized money over football and it wasn’t a coincidence that it was the same story for them every season in the champions league where it’s a bunch of individuals who didn’t have a winning DNA or desire in these big games. Since they play in a less competitive league, they didn’t put as much effort as you would expect from them and it wasn’t a coincidence that every time they played a top team they would get destroyed. Look at the crumble that they had against Barcelona in 2017, these guys were up by 4 goals after the first leg, yet they still got eliminated and they also blew 2 goal leads against Manchester United and Real Madrid in 2019 and 2022. Even if you have some of the best players in the world without any sort of cohesion leadership or teamwork, no team is ever winning the UCL like this. People think that PSG getting to the champions league final in 2020 was a significant achievement as that was the farthest that they’ve ever reached in this competition, but that was a fluke run during COVID where they had no fans played in empty stadiums and didn’t have any 2nd legs and more importantly, they didn’t even play a good team until the final where they ended up losing to Bayern Munich.
100% agree especially about the 2020 final, Bayern was their only real test they were expected to beat Dortmund Atalanta and Leipzig, but when it came down to face Bayern they were never going to win it. When you spend this much over a 13 year span one UCL final is so poor to show for it. Plus they turned Ligue 1 into the most one sided league too
Barcelona robbed psg in 2017
Psg never had smart coach, Anchelotti ignored Backham in ucl with Barca, Unay Emery was ignored Jese Rodriguez, and Tuchel ignored Icardi in final game with Bayern.
@@AL3XXGARSK8, yes with coruption ref Ayetkin
You have time, to write such a long paragraph about PSG
The new era of PSG starts this season....into becoming a mediocre one.
PSG broke the number 1 rule in football by making a single player bigger than the club he was playing for.
This is one of the most underrated channel (about football)
Thank you man I appreciate it!
yeah. subscribed
Now after Mbappe left psg i think if they hire a good manager who is given powers
they can build a good team.
Never, because all others in Europe are yealous because money of psg , and psg must find corrupt refs like uefa vardrid.
What a empty blanket statement.

@@fergall1167😂
Came for the athletic interest graphics on the thumbnail, stayed for a fantastic video ❤ Keep it up man
I think PSG can’t win the champions league due to the amount of times they haven’t replaced the likes of Blaise Matuidi and Thiago Motta who were pivotal in the and don’t have the mentality to compete for the UCL as have blew several leads to the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona, Man United and Real Madrid. And the fact over the last decade they focused on Superstars signings rather to do a proper project and giving the youth a chance like Kingsley Coman and Mike Maignan for example
A good team win the championship league not a team which is full of superstars . I think a manager like Zindane Zidane would be a good for PSG as he already managed a club like Real Madrid CF which was full of superstars and won the championa league 3 times in a row.
they relied and spent money on the wrong people thats the reality, mbappe didnt even want to be their, they bought neymar but was always injured and messi was like on vacation
This is why stuff like team culture and squad depth are so important
I am a big PSG supporter.And have been for a long time.And I completely agree with what you are saying.The club does not spend money on the right people.They only want the biggest names in the game. What is the use of having three of the best forwards in the world But not having Any?
Midfielders to get the ball to them. If you look at the likes of barcelona and manchester city. Barcelona uses a strong youth system where the players learn how to play With each other for years and years and thus when they go to the senior team They integrate well. Similarly manchester city focuses on long term investments. Buying players young together and Getting them to slowly integrate Uber time.Also , manchester city has had for many years so that he can integrate his tactics into the team over time , but the fact that we sell a manager after two years doesn't get them the right time to integrate their tactics.
Why are Fabian and Vitinha so good in the euros but so horrible for psg?
When u have money with no investments skills 😅
Like mafiozo perez investments skills in uefa arbitres
@@stefanijakrivaja6068 Nah bro. Madrid always had political connections to favour them.
But when people talk about Pep they always say that you only need money to be successful....
I think one of the reasons PSG can't win the UCL is Because they always overhaul the squad or change managers. Even in the new "project" they got very inconsistent attackers, their DM Ugarte was warming the bench and they bought Skriniar just to play BERALDO ahead of him in the semis against Dortmund
This is where it changes, they’re actually building a proper team of youth, not overspending. Beraldo, Barcola, Ugarte
Been waiting for your uploads bro just keep up the consistency
100% going to start uploading way more consistent from now on
In my opinion, PSG going for younger talent right now isn’t a choice, but something they’ve been forced to do now due to how public the way they’ve treated their legends is. They might have the money but they no longer have the influence to attract big names - which is why behind the scenes they promise millionaire contracts and important roles in “new projects” (they have a new project every damn year).
Whether you like him or not, Mbappé is an idol to many and seeing a club mistreat him is going to stay on people’s minds for a long time, and I don’t even think that story is over and there’s definitely more to come out of that. Same thing with Messi and Neymar. Real Madrid knew better, they made a god out of Cristiano and although their relationship could’ve ended better, both sides minded their business. In return, till this day there’s kids joining Real Madrid because of their idol, Cristiano.
PSG doesn’t know how to create “gods”. They sign them, promise them the world - but they promise the same thing to every player and that’s how their relationships end up souring. They did it with Cavani, Neymar, Mbappé, etc.
Even though i always consumed these footballing essay vids, and knew many of the things talked in here, yours is a good output for a small-ish CZcamsr. Big kudos!
Thanks my man I really appreciate it!
Like in other sports, if the regular season is a throw in, theyre not ready for the playoffs and just grt bounced early.
Your channel has impressed me a lot and i think it could reach 10k sooner or later.
Thank you very much bro. Hopefully 10k soon
@@YoungSimbaFootballwdym hopefully? it’s so clear ur reaching 10k
Personally, clubs that based in capital city is successful so it can't be cause of paris nightlife I mean what makes paris greater than london, milan or madrid the nightlife is just as insane.
With exception of berlin, most other capital cities host clubs with multiple champions league. London have Chelsea, madrid have Real Madrid, lisbon have Benfica and ajax is from asterdam.
and don't forget - Berlin is only capital city again since 1999
but no Roma team from Italy has won it
so not only Paris , but Roma & Berlin too
This team is in Paris where some of the best players come from, the main focus should’ve always been the youth academy.
neymar is his personal revenge for barca audacity & disrespect with their veratti chase
NO TEAMWORK/CHEMISTRY
PSG players want to shine individually.
Messi left because of that. His passing abilities were wasted there. Mbappé finishing not good. Open goal this missed (some) Bad Defense and Midfielders. No winning mentality, gave up fast.
"Babe wake up , Young Simba posted again " 🙏🔥🔥🔥
If anyone still thinks Mbappe, Messi and Neymar are reason PSG didn't win the Champions League you need wake up and smell the coffee. Having Superstars is never the problem MSN and BBC won everything. The problem is having superstars like Messi and Mbappe then having Midfielders like Gueye and Danilo behind them.
You need World Class Midfielders Barcelona had Kroos and Modric, Real Madrid had Rakitic and Iniesta.
EVERYBODY knows it's not all about the money. If it was, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal would have won the Premier League in the last 6 years and not Man City.
PSG≠ Dallas Cowboys without the history of winning
Brooklyn Nets
Starting the youth process is very essential
Every year they are begging Bernado Silva to come to the club 😅
Politics, manipulation and corruption are the poison of the club.
The hype was there but the Neymar-Mbappe era was nightmarish for the supporters.
So many supporters were worrying about the club: the team construction, the lack of quality in midfield, the disregard towards the academy….
But in the meantime star players, the president and people around them only cared about money, power and influence.
They used bots and sometimes actual Twitter accounts to spread misinformation and bad propaganda to make the other’s worse.
That’s why lately people doubt about the president more than ever. That’s why fans didn’t care when Messi, Neymar and Mbappé left.
Fans of the club are so eager to cheer about football and not any marketing bullshit.
Back with another banger!🎉
Yessir! Appreciate it more videos soon
Great video can’t wait to see what you do next.
Their smartest signing was the Jordan one!
Looking back, the way they managed Mbappé in his final year (weirdly benching a habitual starter) kinda explains his form at the Euros
Forgetting to say Tuchel went on to win champions League
Stjpid Tuchel ignored Icardi in final game with Bayern
Dude your actually underrated bro ur so good actually amazing keep it up man
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Well made video!
Good points in certain areas.
On paper, PSG shouldve won the UCL multiple times but theres always a missing piece in every campaign.
Be it the manager, the players, the midfield, the GK, the defense, etc.
I would say they came close in 2019-2021
The team they had during COVID Final 8 was very efficient
Then the next season when they eliminated Barcelona and Bayern they were also well suited to win UCL
They spent 2,5 billion on transfer fees, I'm too lazy to look into the numbers, but it's fair to assume they spent plenty more on singing boni and salaries.
Overall I'm sure that the artificial worth of PSG being 4,5bn doesn't make up for the accumulated yearly financial losses since Nasser bought the club. In the books, it might not look so bad, but everyone knows that shady sponsorships around PSG are only a way for Nasser to circumvent financial fairplay and pump unreasonable amounts of money into the club in order to fail reaching quarterfinals of the CL every year.
Video quality too high to not have proper channel branding, I promise you will get more engagement if you polish your brand 👍
Neymar destroyed his career with his bad choices.. Choosing money over passion has destroyed his entire career.. He could have won UCL with Barcelona if he didn't leave and go to psg for money.. Even after that he could have go for any other European club but he chooses money again and went to Saudi, gets injured and now his career is almost over
U can't buy character ☠️
And refs like some clubs
psg : farmers league winning machine
Why all find players in this league
i mean , if not for him they wouldnt have the 2.5 bil in first place
This didn even work for madrid
This club is all show and nothing 😂
As a Real Madrid fan, I am very happy to finally have Mbappe in the squad, dreams do come true
*plastic
The problem is owner at the centre of attention
Fantastic video very well put together
What are you on about, PSG was already the biggest club in France before the QSI overtake.
No Marseille Monaco Lyon and sant entene were bigger maybe even Bordeaux
This is proof that money doesn’t guarantee success. Look at PSG United last few years spending and others.
City are imo the best well run club in the world at this time followed by arsenal who despite spending got to build a great project which will surely get them trophies in the coming years.
Did arsenal spend a lot you think
@@nassernathan Arsenal's ownership have been cheapskates that were more interested in their other sports team, the LA Rams.
they didn't sign ronaldo
its simple. No club with an investor besids City ever win big. I mean ite a misterious that they are the Top Team of the Top Five in France and not going down bankrupt like 99% of all clubs with an Investor
Players play for money not the team. What is psg?
I am still a PSG fan.... But we dont have a problem at the club, we have PROBLEMS.
1. The management is too fragile. They want quick results rather than following the process
2. The Club values its players more than itself (unlike clubs like Madrid). The players are basically just employees playing to get their wages. No shit why Messi didn't play like he used to play at Barca or argentina.
3. The BIGGEST reason are the ULTRAs. These guys really get on the nerves of the club. They think they do constructive criticism, but in reality they just disrespect the players who are just having a bad season.
Neither Messi, Neymar and even Kylian have left saying something good about the club.
The management needs to understand that only money cant build a club
THAt IS RIGHT, this stupid Ultra is one of the big problem
With Saudi Arabia on the scene, I think psg is finished. I'd sell if I were him before what happens to Newcastle happens to him
The past two years spending shows that they are really changing their way. However, I say It could be even better without Mbappé even though I am a huge fan of him. But just like with Neymar everything was built around Mbappé in the end. When he was missing from a couple of games , those games were spectacurarly worse. If they let work the two Luis ( Enrique and Campos) they could achive something big. Nasser best be keeping himself behind the walls, signing checks and sometimes open his whisky flask....that's it.
I mean, PSG are not doing great, but FC Barcelona is a club in ruins that hasn't won anything worthwhile ever since Messi left, and keeps trying to make commercial signings and throwing money away as the club becomes poorer and poorer; hardly an example to follow.
Very little is organic to this team. They are playing because they will pay more than anyone else. If money is the only motivator , it doesn’t work.
Uefa coruption refs and stupid psg coach are the bigest mistake
FIFA and UEFA might be for sale ,but you have to earn the champions league trophy
I find it crazy that this dude said all of this and did't highlight the fact the psg went from being nothing in the french league to something! europe is difficult! you need luck, I think psg has done a good job and they will win the champion league and when they do its over for all the over clubs
PSG are the England of domestic football.
Because the players don’t care, as long as the checks keep coming in, they will just keep chilling out. Once the owner stops playing manager going and buying players and letting his staff do their job they might stand a chance at winning something other than the farmers league.
They have the wrong transfer strategy. Buying players at 30 years or over is risky and won’t work every time. They’re going after big stars in other teams when cheap young super-talented french players leave France teams and win the Champions Leagues for Real Madrid. They’re lots of emerging young superstars in French league literally every year. Imagine if they pipped other teams to Camavinga and Touchumeni, Mendy, Olises and many others.
I enjoy seeing that with Money alone, you cannot win the Champions-League!
With all the money in the world, you can buy yourself a Doctor Title, a Sex-Granate, buy yourself a Spaceship or even buying entire Countries!
But NOT the Champions League!
This lets me still believe in our beloved Game!
The league 1 is to weak compared to la liga & premier league and bundesliga. There the topclubs have at least 10 top fixtures + derby's even they miss the ucl .
Man city win the champions league
@@gejamugamlatsoomanam7716 They definitely did not do it with money alone.
got my sub for this video good job bro
They remind me of Manchester United
If you dont have at least one youth team player in the first team, and another 2 in the squad, you wont win the champions league.
They never bought proper ball retaining players , their cms have never been world class
PSG will NEVER be bigger than Real Madrid! RM has a winning pedigree and mentality where no one is above the club. HALA MADRID!
never say never
the game where Neymar carried Barcelona and a Chocking Messi and still didnt have the reflections to him but to messi lmao
Tbh , how much money did arsenal spend all these years? Still no UCL right? Then why you guys keep talking so big?
It's a type of player that PSG and Nasser are usually interested in. The whole body of a PSG team usually consists of tattooed partygoers. You must have tatted arms to even make the cut for a transfer. You never see any strongmen British, or even strong Portuguese or Spanish players like Rodri, Dias, VVD, Stones etc.
It’s not about tats you dolt you literally mentioned only a small percentage of player most have tats now & it’s about winning culture they never developed that they focused on making money & being a brand than having glory it’s that simple where the hell did you get tats from?

Good video and editing pls get a better mic it'll improve the quality a lot
enjoyed this.. PSG = Disfunction after the Qataris came. I am a proud Marseille fan.. only French team to lift the Champions League. This year PSG is very vulnerable (even if they score a transfer) and we Marseillais are ready to challenge for Ligue 1 Championship.
You mean winning it by bribing Valenciennes players so they didn’t injure OM players the week before the champions league finals.. got caught doing it and relegated them the following season (I’m surprised UEFA didn’t take your corrupt CL win away as well bc you didn’t deserve it and you can thank tapie for that reason)
So will Lyon they look better now that they clawed back form dead last to 6th place as well
@@2589jrod potentially! We shall see after this transfer market is settled. PSG is looking for replacements but idk if players are biting because of their legal issues with Mbappé.. they are withholding money that is owed to him.
Why would you give a player some much influence and powers over the institution itself?
I don't want this happen but watch them beat RM and win the UCL this coming season
Almost half was on Neymar. Don't need to watch the video now. You're welcome
It only takes timea till they get it. 2 years ago, all this kind of video always brought Man City/PSG as an examples likes they never gonna get win UCL title ever, but now, Man City has gone from the topic of disussion and leave PSG as the only club that'll always be bring as examples of rich club who never got UCL title. Let's assume after PSG got their first UCL title, the people who always brag about rich club never get an UCL title will finally disappeared from the lane 😂
Psg plays in a weaker league ... end of story... they could have won ucl if they were in the EPL, la liga or even Bundesliga
