Critics are pouring in on Paris Saint-Germain after their defeat against Arsenal (2-0) this Tuesday in the Champions League. Fragile behind and harmless up front, the team coached by Luis Enrique conceded its first defeat of the season and did not reassure its followers for the rest of this C1 campaign. Asked by The Parisian At the end of the match, Édouard Cissé estimated that PSG was beaten by a much better team: “ There was no photo! I didn’t find PSG able to compete with Arsenal. The high level is details and the set piece on the second goal, they must not take it. In the second half, I found them a little better, but that was mainly due to the fact that the Gunners were in management. We never felt like they were capable of overturning anything. »

The former PSG and OM midfielder continued, returning to the statements of Luis Enrique who had indicated that his management had not recruited him to win titles, and in particular the Champions League: “ Where are we in the project? What’s the idea? Win the title of champion of France and appear in the Champions League? There are better things to do. Plus, opposite, it’s Arsenal: there’s no Martin Ødegaard and no real depth. I don’t see them in the last square either. I would like to be able to speak with the leaders of PSG so that they can explain their project to me. If the coach says he’s not here to win titles and in fact he wants to build a team, then that’s fine with me. What I saw this evening (Tuesday), it’s cute. It’s serious, there are a lot of young people, it’s a team in the making. Until Tuesday evening, I thought that PSG’s project was to be in the top eight and go for the Champions League. Maybe things have changed in the meantime, but his statement surprised me », he told the Ile-de-France daily.
