Are PSG a failed project?

Little Luis: I don't deserve this... to go out like this. I was building a team without superstars.

I'm adamant it's not a failure. PSG's claim to fame before they took over was 2 league titles (80's and early 90's) and the fact Ronaldinho had a spell there. They've completely dominated French football and have become one of the top teams in the Champions League it's madness to say otherwise.

Yeah this is totally fair I think - 2 titles in 40 years as you say vs what will likely be 11 out of 14 this season is a huge turnaround.

The CL is obviously the one people look at considering they had a forward line of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe at one point but a lot of the opinion around this really discounts just how hard it is to win I think - Real have won 50% of them since PSG have been back in it and the others (Bayern, Barca, Liverpool, Chelsea, City) are all elite sides as well. They obviously made a final and have consistently been in the latter stages.

I still think they have a chance this season as well, I said after the draw that the winner of Liverpool/PSG might be my favourite to win (outside of the fact Real just seem to have this competition on lock) and 100% they are still in it, Liverpool have to be favourites now taking a lead back to Anfield but it's not inconceivable given the way PSG played as a whole that they could largely dominate again and be more clinical this time in the return leg.

When you consider that the only player who took the field for them yesterday over 28 was Marquinhos as well, they should have the core of this current squad together for a while yet. If they can continue to develop this system under Enrique and make 1 or 2 additions to the squad, they will be amongst the 4 or 5 times I'd peg as favourites for each of the next few seasons.

The fact such a question can seriously be asked says what we need to know.

They failed to emulate Real's 'Galactico' era and now fancy themselves as a red bull knock-off.

Still European bottlers.

The nike michael jordan motif they constantly display on their jerseys is another bizarre attachment.

With actual red bull showing up in Paris, it could be high time for France's genuine clubs to come together and form their own league.

Unlike Nice! The success story of France!!
 
Enrique has done a marvelous job at PSG. Such a likeable team now with no big egos just players playing for the team and wanting team success over individual glory.
This season CL is done. Next season they'll go far.
 
Can't see them winning at Anfield and especially not by 2 goals. Didn't watch the game but looking at stats it seems like they completely dominated and on another day could've won with 2 or 3. Shame..
