Over the last ten years, Paris Saint-Germain has established a reputation as one of Europe’s most glitzy clubs, despite never having won the Champions League championship that its Qatari owners so desperately want. However, a squad devoid of superstars is now on the verge of an unimaginable early departure from the continent’s top club championship as it drifts dangerously towards mediocrity.
The French champions are now in 25th place with only four points and three goals after five games, while the top 24 clubs at the end of the league round go to the knockout stages.
PSG, the 2020 runners-up and last season’s semi-finalists, haven’t lost in the Champions League before the knockout stages since 2004–05, when Pedro Miguel Pauleta, a Portuguese striker, was their star player.
From Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani to Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe, PSG supporters have grown accustomed to seeing glitzy superstars on the squad since Qatar Sports Investments’ revolutionary acquisition in 2011.
during Mbappe’s departure during the previous season, PSG decided to concentrate on assembling a fresh squad of gifted but unproven young players.
France winger Ousmane Dembele is arguably the most recognizable face in Luis Enrique’s squad, but players like Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves, and Warren Zaire-Emery, who are all between the ages of 18 and 22, are now regulars.
