PSG have failed so far to develop a winning mentality in Europe. psg
PARIS: Paris St Germain may have clinched their long-expected sixth Ligue 1 title in the last seven seasons but that triumph cannot mask the French club’s shortcomings on the European stage where results have failed to match their huge investment.
Lagging far behind, second-placed Lille have benefited from Nicolas Pepe’s scoring form, the Ivory Coast striker having plundered 19 goals and set up 11 this term. The principality club sacked coach Leonardo Jardim after a difficult start to the season and replaced him with their former player Thierry Henry but he failed to revive them and was ousted as they recalled the Portuguese midway through the season.
German coach Thomas Tuchel, who replaced Unai Emery this season, also could not manage a domestic treble which the Spaniard and France World Cup-winner Laurent Blanc achieved. “When someone has been there, maybe it’s good to listen to them, rely on their experience. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t. I’d like that when I say something, they’d listen more.”
