The club's future appears uncertain following yet another disappointing performance in the Champions League. This season, PSG relied heavily on Kylian Mbappe, the talented forward from France. However, Mbappe has yet to make a definitive announcement regarding his plans to extend his stay at the club until 2025 or consider a departure in 2024. While Mbappe stood out as one of the few bright spots, PSG's overall season was marred by setbacks. They failed to secure the French Cup, and both Lionel Messi's underwhelming performances and Neymar's injury sidelining in the latter part of the season hindered the team's success. Gianluigi Donnarumma, who provided a sense of security to Italy during their triumphant Euro 2020 campaign, did not exhibit the same level of performance between the goalposts. Furthermore, PSG's Champions League campaign ended prematurely in the round of 16 for the fifth time in the last seven seasons. The lackluster displays by PSG can be attributed to poor recruitment decisions and a deficiency in team cohesion, which is unexpected from a club backed by Qatar and known for their exorbitant spending since 2011, totaling well over a billion euros. On paper, the attacking trio of Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar has the potential to be the most formidable in the world. However, they struggled to synergize effectively on the pitch, and their efforts were inadequately supported by a mediocre midfield. Marco Verratti, in particular, endured a season filled with disappointment. PSG has witnessed a revolving door of coaches since Carlo Ancelotti's departure in 2013, with each one failing to establish a strong foothold in managing the team. Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, and most recently, Christophe Galtier have all fallen short of expectations. Messi's recent suspension due to an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia has further added to the club's woes. However, Galtier clarified that he was not involved in the decision to punish the forward. Unfortunately, Messi's form has taken a dramatic downturn following his World Cup victory with Argentina. While he managed to score PSG's opening goal in their most recent match, it is highly likely that the 35-year-old will part ways with the club at the end of the season. Speculation is also growing about Neymar's potential departure, leaving the management with the arduous task of rebuilding the team almost from scratch once again. PSG's refusal to acknowledge their management mistakes has fueled repeated protests from their most loyal fans. Recently, a group of supporters gathered outside Neymar's residence, urging the Brazilian to seek a new club. Their pleas might be granted, but the subsequent course of action remains uncertain. With 12 years of sporadic decision-making, PSG's track record does little to inspire confidence. Read the full article
