The current PSG season does not excite Emmanuel Petit. The sports consultant even judges that the Ile-de-France club has never been so weak on the European scene since its takeover by QSI.
After its victory (2-0) at the Parc des Princes against Real Sociedad on February 14, Paris Saint-Germain is on track to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In Ligue 1, the capital club has a relatively comfortable cushion over its pursuers.
Despite everything, Emmanuel Petit remains very nuanced about the Rouge et Bleu season. “It’s not in Ligue 1 that we expect them every year, it’s in the Champions League. Since the Qataris arrived, I find that it is the weakest team that PSG presents on the European scene, strangely, the year when they could go far. judged the sports consultant on RMC.
Little puts things into perspective
If it reaches the quarter-finals of the C1 this year, the club coached by Luis Enrique will do better than the three previous seasons, during which it was knocked out in the round of 16. However, Petit still prefers to put such an eventuality into perspective. “You have major European teams that are in decline this year”underlines the 1998 world champion, recalling that PSG extricated itself from the group stages “miraculously”.
Since PSG was taken over by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011, it has still not won the Champions League. His best run dates back to the 2019-2020 season, during which he reached the final of the prestigious European competition.
