Three defeats and a draw in seven games in League 1, and elimination from the French Cup by Olympique de Marseille, is the balance for PSG in 2023.
Personnel problems should be added to the result crisis, since the performance of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi against Bayern Munich in the Champions League is questionable. The first match of the round of 21 of the Champions League will be played on Tuesday (XNUMX) in Paris.
PSG suffered its last failure yesterday away from home against Monaco. The team was defeated (3:1), so Olympique from Marseille was again only five points behind. The team arrived at the game exhausted with a stomach virus, and this defeat, writes L'Equipe, showed that there are frictions in the team.
This respected French and European newspaper writes that there was a heated discussion between some players and sports director Luis Campos, who criticized the players for a lack of aggressiveness.
This remark of Campos did not go down well with Neymar and Marquinhos. The two sides got into a verbal confrontation, which surprised everyone in the club.
Neymar played 90 minutes against Monaco, and during the match it was noticeable that he was nervous, because he grumbled and cursed during the game. He was even harsh towards some teammates, like Ekitike. And in the end, Campos' criticism was the last straw.
In the club, they wanted everything to stay in the dressing room, but they did not succeed in that intention, so Presnel Kimpembe gave a statement to the media afterwards.
"The most important thing is that we remain united. Despite everything that happens and what we say," said the PSG player.
Kylian Mbappe also announced himself on social networks.
"The most important thing is to stay strong and united," said the young Frenchman.
Tuesday and the match with Bayern is close. And it is one of the finals of this season for the team from Paris, which has been trying for years, but fails to win the Champions League.
