No, it's about the individuals that they brought and the leaders that they established. Just think about Lyon who never acted that way in the 2000s, the gap was far bigger between Lyon and the bigger clubs but they always fought and always made it difficult for their opponents, with lesser players. PSG reminds me Garcia's Lille but on steroids, they play well and they can beat anyone but if someone fight back they fold.

Zidane (if as widely predicted he leaves Real?)
Icon of French Football - proven winner as a player and manager - would have thought he would be one of their top targets
I don't know why but I can't see him, a guy from Marseille manage PSG. In general I don't see it as a problem but in his case, it would be weird.
PSG are not an elite club. And I strongly doubt that Poch would want to ply his trade in a one-horse French league.
I had already posted in the match-thread after we lost.
The 'odd habit' concerns those posters - such as yourself it seems - who wish to keep track (badly in your case) of which other posters have posted and when. For myself, I couldn't care less about whenever you last posted, whoever you are.
PSG doesn't have a brand new stadium, a trend and a NFL partnership either. No way Pochettino goes there.
I don't know why Zidane is often unfairly touted as a mediocre tactician while in big games Real is always well prepared to answer every problem the opposition might cause, and once again he won the coach battle this tie.
I wouldn't sack Emery right now, no reason to cause more drama, just focus on the 3 national trophies and look for the next coach to take over in the summer. As for the rumours about every half-decent coach has been linked with PSG, but some of the upper management could also be replaced so just wait and see.

What are the "elite clubs"?
Whatever an 'elite club' is, PSG are certainly closer to it than Spurs.
Can we not turn this into a Spurs thread?
It's not officially a serious thread where wummers/derailers will be threadbanned. Feel free to spurs it up.
Julian Draxler: “I was surprised and a little angry.”
Speaking to German channel ZDF last night
“When we equalised, we needed to bring something else in. We needed to continue to push, to go forward. I do not know what happened, I was surprised and a bit annoyed. The goal at 1-1 changed nothing for us. I felt like we needed to continue to press and play attacking football. Real Madrid were playing slowly, calmly. We moved the ball around but you cannot win by just doing that. You need to put pressure on Real when you are losing 3-1, and not just play passes and hope that something falls from the sky. We deserve to go out. This summer, we spent €400m and everyone said that this was going to change things, but we failed.”

That PSG was very different than now. I meant Poch is hardly a PSG legend, just mere PSG former player. It's not like Luis Enrique at Madrid, Barcelona, less Pep who was part of the dream team; and Zidane who was the spear head of the first Galaticos project. It's hard for the players and to relate. Not about club history, not about their aim given Poch hasn't been there either as player or as coach. And some of the players were there.
Polish press say Zidan is their no1 target.
Some hot summer for managers ahead of us. Pochettino to PSG, Conte to AC Milan, Wenger to retire!? LVG to Spurs, Luis Enrique to Chelsea and Carlo Ancelotti to Arsenal!?
I think nobody knows
Ancelotti is the last manager Arsenal need right now. And I doubt Spurs would go after LVG again.
While I can't speak for French, I don't think it's a weird thing. Zidane ain't just a Marseille guy once he won the WC. He is national hero.
Damn, imagine the aura of national hero become CL serial winner coach leading PSG

Damn, imagine the aura of national hero become CL serial winner coach leading PSG at the stadium where he made history
Yeah, you are not french.
I am mistaken damnYeah, you are not french.
Joachim Lowe will probably leave Germany as well won't he and go back into club management
Yeah, you are not french.
It is annoying.My Uncle called it the Stade de France during the Real game, even though we'd toured the stadium when we were in Paris a few years back!

Glad I am not the only one. Damn French and its language
Anyways, if Zidane is the one PSG go to then what do you guys would have him leave Madrid. I meant as struggling as they are else where, they are within possibility to make the final the way they display in both legs vs PSG.
Some sucker would be in huge surprise if they are to hire him IMO

They are so different from the inside that it's baffling, the stands are closer in the Parc des Princes and it's less open which is very visible on TV. Also the Parc des Princes has a bigger place in people's heart, it is where Platini and the great french team played home games and won the Euro 84.
Yeah, I think it's just that people assume that because Paris is the capital, the stadium that PSG play in must be the national stadium or something.
Pochettino to PSG makes so much sense for both parties. Former player, top class coach and guaranteed silverware. It's an ideal next step for him - unless he thinks he can get the Real job.
''When you remortgage your 132nd palace to buy Neymar and still go out in Round 16''
The last part is a tad excessive, Stade de France is where they won the WC and a whole generation feel strongly about it. Though it's a shithole of a stadium.
I don't think it is. The Stade de France has no romance, in fact the romance around France 98 is more linked to Clairefontaine, probably due to "Les yeux dans les bleus" while the Parc des Princes is tightly linked to the the French National team of the 70s-80s.
Thats very subjective and easily contradicted by a conversation with many French people. Of course there's romance about the Stade de France, especially with a certain generation. Loads of younger fans werent exposed to the era you're talking about (but I'm not disputing you're right about people in their 40s-50s).
What's pathetic is the spreading of blatant lies. The club has nothing to do with the security of the RM bus.
It's high time for PSG to take these matters to court, the level of slander is going way too far.
I'm not saying they have anything to do with the security of the RM bus and they shouldn't. I'm just saying that according to AS and L'Equipe a PSG official asked police to not provide Madrid with the usual police escort. That would then be something I'd consider as pathetic.
Pochettino always gives the impression of a guy who wants to build a dynasty playing his own style, & likes a challenge. I doubt he will get that at PSG. Certainly not the latter in the one club league, & I hardly think he would like to be under the beck & call of Neymar & his father.
I know and it doesn't take elite detective skills to understand it doesn't make sense.
