I said it on a different channel, but it's worth repeating It has been 10 years since I've watched PSG dominate my league. Ligue 1 desperately needs at least one team to challenge consistently PSG because we see how they can coast in the season because they have the talent. They have been awful this year, yet are still going to be the champions. Meanwhile, they have never put in place any kind of club identity in that locker room. It's just a revolving door of coaches and mercinaries. And their recruiting in the off season was odd. Messi is a great, fantastic name, but at his age, he was not going to fit in well with Mbppe, Neymar and all the attacking talent now stuck to the bench. Why was Donnaruma brought in when you already had a world-class goalkeeper? It's a club with money, but no clear vision
"They have been awful this year, yet are still going to be the champions." That has to be one of the weirdest facts to have to accept as a football fan I've ever seen
One could argue that they bought Messi to get even more money from merchandise. Also Donnaruma is really young compared to Navas,so maybe they’re just planning ahead. Still,got a strong dislike for PSG so f them Parisiennes
@@samuelachedzimbir-bondzie7246 True, I forgot about Carlo Ancelotti lol. He went on to win the UCL with RM in 2013-2014. PSG lack mentality in the team and leadership.

PSG is the great example that you can't win it all in football just by throwing money at everything you see. You need a vision, a united core, a distinct style of play, a competitive league that keeps the team in top form every week and chemistry between the players.
@@zackariahjeanyudah7779 City is like a half-PSG. They have a distinct style of play under Pep and a competitive league, but they still lack that team building other top teams have, kind of the reason why they don't have a Champions League yet, but are always closer to winning it, (and probably eventually will) than PSG.
@@_MrMoney personally these days the Prem isn't that competitive. There's Man City, Liverpool and then a huge gap and then maybe 3 more teams then another huge gap and then everyone else. The Prem right now is basically early 2010's La Liga.

If the top 5 teams in France excluding PSG were to play in England they probably would end around the mid-table. That's the difference, Man City have constant competition every week, while PSG don't.
I think the main problems PSG have to achieving (in Europe) are: the French league is relatively weak so they are not truly tested week to week, and secondly, they keep throwing money at big name superstars who are not prepared to work hard, and because the league is weak, they don't need to work hard. This means that when the going gets tough, PSG can't compete with the other big European teams, who not only have quality, but can also put in a big performance under pressure.
Another problem with the PSG squad that wasn't mentioned in the video is their temper tantrums they like to throw. Some of the players (Neymar, Kimpembe and Mbappé) are well known to not being able to handle frustration in game, drawing unnecessary and horrendous fouls resulting in them being send off. So as you said, they crack under pressure both performance wise as well as regarding their temper. I think that's a big factor as well as your already mentioned points.
I disagree. There have been times where Barcelona and Real Madrid have been running rings around the other teams in La Liga but they still performed in the Champions League.

that happens to big clubs constantly, for example it feels like every single La Liga team has a product of either La Masia or the Castilla on the pitch at all times. Every time a big team loses to a former player you can laugh at them and say they made a mistake by selling that player, but the truth is that running a big club is a constant process of talent evaluation, which is very fucking difficult considering how quick things move at the top. Also, even though Bulka won one game against psg, will he win many more times? No. Will he ever be good enough to play for psg? Absolutely not.

Yeah the french football factory has been insane lately and when you compare it to bayern which has a ton of german players, psg just looks weird with almost no big french names
Cavani was the only reason I liked hearing the name PSG back during those days. Not contributing much to the conversation, just thinking about how likable Cavani made PSG seem
I'm new to football clubs, I used to only watch national leagues but getting into clubs has really opened my eyes. I though PSG was going to be an absolutely crushing team with Messi, Mbappé, and Neymar. Turns out shoving a lot of talent and money into a team isn't enough to be truly great
(sorry in advance for American speak) just like baseball's New York Yankees. They spend a fuck ton of $$$ on players every year, have Aaron Judge (he's like baseball's Mbappe) and still haven't made the World Series since 2009.
About Barcelona's famous remontada, there's an infamous quote made by a French Canal + commentator, Stéphane Guy. At the 83rd minute, with PSG down 3-1, they would still qualify if the score stood. The commentator talked about their imminent qualification and the optimism Barcelona fans had before Paris' goal, but now it was over as, as he put it "Against them, it's not Gijon, it's not Valladolid. This is PSG." And after Barcelona scored its 6 goal, 7 days after they beat Gijon 6-1, he exclaimed "NOOOOO! It's not possible!", which became a meme in France
Considering how rich they are, losing the league to Monaco and Lille should be seen as a horrific failure. Money buys quality, but you can't buy culture and class.
The fact that they failed to beat French sides 12 times last year should speak volumes. Should they not at least come close to being Invincible every year since 2015?
@@justadreamerforgood69 They have astronomically more resources than anybody in that league. You're right in saying that it wouldn't matter if they had won a UCL by now, but since they haven't, facts like these make the situation even worse.
@@nicholastricarico2957 They really were robbed last season when City kept fouling P$G players but were never even booked but Di Maria was booked for slightly stepping on Fernandinho 🤷🏻♂️🙄 In the 2019/20 season they had their chances but Bayern were slightly better and probably their strongest ever 💯 Money and luck is important along with the referees help. We've seen that in case of Barça, Madrid and Liverpool. They all the referee's help or luck at some point of time where they've won the UCL Bayern also has the most money in the Bundesliga but are run like a proper club(not in the past 2 years however). Bayern is probably only team who hasn't had the referee's help to win
Somehow PSG allowed Chelsea to win two UCL titles in the decade in which they became the richest club in the world. And to rub salt into their wounds, Thomas Tuchel won it in 6 months after leaving PSG
I used to think 40 minute video is long but once you finished an 8 hour video 40 minutes is just nothing anymore. This is a fun watch because it tells you that even a lot of money can't buy you success.
No i think he just hated brazil cause he got no support there. I think he was good enough to make it but he got kicked to the curb at a young age hence the anger issues.
As a psg fan i think this transfer window killed us, we are almost making a proper dominant team, but this window we just signed a bunch of unnecesary stars with only hakimi fitting in the team, im kinda happy naseer will be sacked cause he cant use the „oil money” properly like man city
One thing you didn't mentioned is how they have stagnated ligue 1's progress as a league since PSG is the only French club widely known, they've dominated Ligue 1's promotional material to the point where it's just known as PSG and 19 other clubs.
Just dropping in to say that I love your longer form video essays. They're so entertaining and informative, I always walk away knowing more than I came in.
As a PSG fan myself it's just sad. The biggest problem over the last years has been that the bigger PSG transfers are more just to sell kits and not to build a real team. That's why they give contracts to over the hill big name players who don't really care about PSG. Anyway, great video as always!
I think they will eventually win the champions League, look at Chelsea for example, it took them almost 10 years and a lost final to win them their first Champions League. Also Man City is trying to win the Champions League for some years before PSG. But at least Chelsea and City have a vision about their future.
At least Chelsea had a core in place despite players coming and going like it's a revolving door. Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, John Terry, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, and Didier Drogba were all present during the club's best European stretch during 2007 to 2012.
PSG is the worst kind of football club. A club with only one goal in mind, but takes no time to plan how to get there, and unsparingly fall short every time. Their recruiting is on par with a twelve year old playing FM with unlimited budget, spending billions on big names that the manager didn't ask for nor the squad needs, and then make him the scapegoat for the team's shortcomings in the Champions League (Pochettino, Ancelotti, Emery, and Tuchel). The locker room is an endless cycle of overinflated egos who want to win, but don't want to work to get there. The ignorant higher ups are the ones truly at fault for every shortcoming the club has. They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again.
The Qatari owners are never gonna sell..... They made a brand out of a club no one knew a decade ago. With big name players, they make money. They won't sell cause everyone loves money.
Qatar are part way through building all new training facilities and have plans to enlarge the stadium so i don't think they will sell any time soon. I don't want Qatar to leave until they've upgraded the Parc des Princes to 80000 seats, and maybe bought the stadium so that the club gets all the ticket money. No matter how much of a mockery the qatari ownership make of the club right now, i know it will be better off in the long term with their spending on club infrastructure and global marketing. Let's just hope they don't stay too long once all that is complete.
This statement is the one of someone who doesn't rly follow football but just repeat casual takes from ppl who watch PSG 2 times a year and follow the club's news through dramas that are often invented, always exaggerated by medias looking for buzz. I'm not saying that PSG is a perfect club that does everything right and yes there is legit aspects on which you can criticize how things are done, but you have to be serious for 2 secs... Football is football, it's been rly often that the whole story could have been totally different for PSG : the elimination in 2019 against United for example is one of the unluckiest game of football i've ever seen (and Klopp agrees with me) and people tried to draw a ton of conclusions out of that game because this is how football works and the reason why we love it. All i want to say is : you can criticize PSG, but if you are saying relevant things, because right now you're just the typical example of the football casual who will join the global trashtalk on players/teams that are underperforming and scapegoated, and then act all surprised when you realise they are actually good players that you've just never see perform, in football the popular opinion ain't necessarily the right one. Football is a complex combination of a ton of factors that you have to perfect to be the best team in the world, and in the end everything's played on details. There is a ton to learn about football, and the more you'll learn about it, the more you'll understand that it's unpredictable and impossible to draw conclusions about it. You wrote this : "They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again." so let me respond : - French football is literally one of the best in the world if not the best nowadays lol i don't rly see who "looks at it as a joke" - I am a PSG fan and I don't want the Qatari ownership to sell, you don't know how much they brought to the club. As soon as they arrived they made long term investments that will help the club for decades and made PSG a huge brand that can now generate the same revenues as the biggest clubs itw. On the sportive side they made PSG relevant in every sports and made sure to re-establish the relation with the ultras after there were banned from stadiums. Thanks to them i've seen Messi, Mbappe, Neymar etc... playing football in front of my eyes and you don't realize how insane it is. - You comparing PSG with these teams is really dumb because : 1) PSG had never been the "most talented team itw" lmao they have always been better superteams these past years, especially in modern football where you have a ton of teams who are world class and can aim for the ucl unlike 10 years ago when u had 2/3 teams who were really untouchable every season. 2) Real Madrid literally did what PSG did except they did it even worse in an era without ffp or other superteams competing and it hasn't always succeeded neither 3) Bayern is bullying bundesliga which is a playing ground for ex-Ligue 1 players so idk what u r on, PSG winning the league hasn't stopped it from being a competitive league producing the best players itw. 4) Do i really have to talk about Barca ? lmao
@@Jeunelegende91 Real Madrid always bought from money they generated. PSG just throws money they get from quatar(they are in loss and and are now throwing huge cash at mbape).

Such a shame he was meant to be the next big thing
PSG is the embodiment of "Throw sh*t to the wall and see what it sticks" because that's the only thing they had done since the oil money came, yes, they had won a few ligue tittles, but with the overwhelming amount of cash they have, it's crazy how little they have acomplish so far, compared to other clubs that has the same oil money model.

Finally, I've been waiting so long!! It was becoming an inside joke of when the video would come out. 😂😂. Honestly I love your content, and I'm glad you take your time to make your content the best.
So today in class, my teacher asked what PSG stands for? And then I proudly say “Paris Saint-Germain” then he laughed saying: it stands for “Polysomnogram” which means sleep which performance overnight through the monitor. And I shouted right back at him: Ey yo Mr. I see no difference between Paris Saint-Germain and polysomnography. The face he made, made me realize that he is a PSG fan.
Returning to this after they bottled it against Dortmund, and I am freaking pissed at this team. All of that money and all of that talent and you only have *ONE* UCL Finals appearance in 12 years? And that was in a COVID year with opponents below PSG's level (Dortmund, Atalanta & Leipzig). Let's just list the famous names who played (and/or still play) for PSG in these 12 years: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, David Luis, Marco Verratti, Angel di Maria, Julian Draxler (before he fell to shit), Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Idrissa Gueye, Gianluigi Buffon, Kevin Trapp, Gianluigi Donnaruma, Sergio Ramos, Georginho Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Lionel Messi, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marquinhos and so much more. All of that talent... And you have less UCL Finals appearances in the last 12 years than *Dortmund.* You know, the team known for bottling the Bundesliga last year? With old men Mats Hummels and Marco Reus? How in Qatar's name you made *Nicklas Füllkrug* into a God? And the best part? Mbappe's leaving after this season. I would say you're fucked, but that would probably be a compliment. This team is fucking pathetic...
bro they gotta understand buying players dont fix your problems just gotta make them a team with a good coach and consistent rather than chasing the next star just build a consistent team like real
I guess in terms of the Paris FC and PSG dynamic, you can say that Paris FC is Hydrox and PSG is Oreos. One is the original but the other one is the more well-known and commercially successful.
I was hoping you would have also mentioned that Thiago Silva and Tuchel went on to beat City in the 2021 UCL final This was an excellent video. I am a new fan.
2016-2017 was the year of blowing up lead: - PSG with la Remontada. - Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Finals against Golden State Warriors. - Those same Warriors would do the same in the NBA Finals against Cleveland Cavaliers. - And last but definitely not least, the infamous Superbowl 51, also known as "28-3".

Here after they failed again.
Not a football guy, but In Handball. PSG has a great session until they go to the finals if they have a good session. That's what I know about PSG.
Problem is PSG isn't scouting young players and building a legacy like rm or barca does
This will stay relevant forever
Because of Messi
I'm gonna predict Newcastle and Dortmund winning the group
40 minutes of prime UCL memories for me? AND the PSG melodrama show? Yes please!
I'm new to football clubs, I used to only watch national leagues but getting into clubs has really opened my eyes. I though PSG was going to be an absolutely crushing team with Messi, Mbappé, and Neymar. Turns out shoving a lot of talent and money into a team isn't enough to be truly great
They thought playing FUT would win them a UCL
(sorry in advance for American speak) just like baseball's New York Yankees.
They spend a fuck ton of $$$ on players every year, have Aaron Judge (he's like baseball's Mbappe) and still haven't made the World Series since 2009.
If only psg had good midfielders they and some backup attackers they would be crushing every team right now
@@nkmade world series. champions of what, the USA?
About Barcelona's famous remontada, there's an infamous quote made by a French Canal + commentator, Stéphane Guy.
At the 83rd minute, with PSG down 3-1, they would still qualify if the score stood. The commentator talked about their imminent qualification and the optimism Barcelona fans had before Paris' goal, but now it was over as, as he put it "Against them, it's not Gijon, it's not Valladolid. This is PSG."
And after Barcelona scored its 6 goal, 7 days after they beat Gijon 6-1, he exclaimed "NOOOOO! It's not possible!", which became a meme in France
that's incredible haha

Considering how rich they are, losing the league to Monaco and Lille should be seen as a horrific failure.
Money buys quality, but you can't buy culture and class.
The fact that they failed to beat French sides 12 times last year should speak volumes. Should they not at least come close to being Invincible every year since 2015?

No one cares about Ligue 1 tbh 🤷🏻♂️🥱
If P$G did well in the UCL it wouldn't matter
@@justadreamerforgood69 They have astronomically more resources than anybody in that league. You're right in saying that it wouldn't matter if they had won a UCL by now, but since they haven't, facts like these make the situation even worse.
@@nicholastricarico2957
They really were robbed last season when City kept fouling P$G players but were never even booked but Di Maria was booked for slightly stepping on Fernandinho 🤷🏻♂️🙄
In the 2019/20 season they had their chances but Bayern were slightly better and probably their strongest ever 💯
Money and luck is important along with the referees help. We've seen that in case of Barça, Madrid and Liverpool. They all the referee's help or luck at some point of time where they've won the UCL
Bayern also has the most money in the Bundesliga but are run like a proper club(not in the past 2 years however). Bayern is probably only team who hasn't had the referee's help to win
Monaco had an incredible team in 2017. PSG lost because Monaco were better this year, not because they bottled it.
Somehow PSG allowed Chelsea to win two UCL titles in the decade in which they became the richest club in the world. And to rub salt into their wounds, Thomas Tuchel won it in 6 months after leaving PSG
Incredible video! I knew psg had a good youth set up but so many of them coming back to bite them is just hilarious
it was hilarious to see how many times it's come back to bite them
Diego Costa is the definition of " I can't make it into the Brasilian national team so I'm going to be a citizen somewhere else".

But Thomas Tuchel getting sacked and then winning the UCL with Chelsea should also be mentioned.

yeahhh i completely forgot
Same goes with Thiago silva

Can we just appreciate how much time and effort Maqwell makes into his Video essays
Ok
_This is beautiful, i've looked at this for 2 Weeks now_
I used to think 40 minute video is long but once you finished an 8 hour video 40 minutes is just nothing anymore. This is a fun watch because it tells you that even a lot of money can't buy you success.
"8 hour video"

No. It was a video about Nickelodeon Show Victorious

This is the funniest football video I have watched in a long time. His comedic timing is very good. Never skipped a second of this long ass video.
As Mourinho once said:
This is football heritage.
No i think he just hated brazil cause he got no support there. I think he was good enough to make it but he got kicked to the curb at a young age hence the anger issues.
Add one more year to the list
Amazing. Amazing from start to finish.
Fully worth the wait. Keep it up Maxwell 👏
Perfect amount of details and humor, don’t change
As a psg fan i think this transfer window killed us, we are almost making a proper dominant team, but this window we just signed a bunch of unnecesary stars with only hakimi fitting in the team, im kinda happy naseer will be sacked cause he cant use the „oil money” properly like man city

One thing you didn't mentioned is how they have stagnated ligue 1's progress as a league since PSG is the only French club widely known, they've dominated Ligue 1's promotional material to the point where it's just known as PSG and 19 other clubs.

40 minutes of PSG failing and anime/video soundtracks? Keep it up Maqwell
As a PSG fan myself it's just sad. The biggest problem over the last years has been that the bigger PSG transfers are more just to sell kits and not to build a real team. That's why they give contracts to over the hill big name players who don't really care about PSG. Anyway, great video as always!

Bro I think this is max’s best video essay they just keep getting better and better
I think they will eventually win the champions League, look at Chelsea for example, it took them almost 10 years and a lost final to win them their first Champions League. Also Man City is trying to win the Champions League for some years before PSG. But at least Chelsea and City have a vision about their future.
At least Chelsea had a core in place despite players coming and going like it's a revolving door. Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, John Terry, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien, and Didier Drogba were all present during the club's best European stretch during 2007 to 2012.
Chelsea has frightened the whole Europe since 2003 at least.
Nobody cares about playing against PSG.
truly heroic effort, crammed in so much information and so many shots
You know it's a banger when Maqwell starts lifting egg companies out of bankruptcy simply because of one video.

PSG is the worst kind of football club. A club with only one goal in mind, but takes no time to plan how to get there, and unsparingly fall short every time. Their recruiting is on par with a twelve year old playing FM with unlimited budget, spending billions on big names that the manager didn't ask for nor the squad needs, and then make him the scapegoat for the team's shortcomings in the Champions League (Pochettino, Ancelotti, Emery, and Tuchel). The locker room is an endless cycle of overinflated egos who want to win, but don't want to work to get there. The ignorant higher ups are the ones truly at fault for every shortcoming the club has. They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again.
Holy shit dude u nailed it🙏🏻
The Qatari owners are never gonna sell..... They made a brand out of a club no one knew a decade ago. With big name players, they make money. They won't sell cause everyone loves money.
Qatar are part way through building all new training facilities and have plans to enlarge the stadium so i don't think they will sell any time soon. I don't want Qatar to leave until they've upgraded the Parc des Princes to 80000 seats, and maybe bought the stadium so that the club gets all the ticket money. No matter how much of a mockery the qatari ownership make of the club right now, i know it will be better off in the long term with their spending on club infrastructure and global marketing. Let's just hope they don't stay too long once all that is complete.
This statement is the one of someone who doesn't rly follow football but just repeat casual takes from ppl who watch PSG 2 times a year and follow the club's news through dramas that are often invented, always exaggerated by medias looking for buzz.
I'm not saying that PSG is a perfect club that does everything right and yes there is legit aspects on which you can criticize how things are done, but you have to be serious for 2 secs...
Football is football, it's been rly often that the whole story could have been totally different for PSG : the elimination in 2019 against United for example is one of the unluckiest game of football i've ever seen (and Klopp agrees with me) and people tried to draw a ton of conclusions out of that game because this is how football works and the reason why we love it.
All i want to say is : you can criticize PSG, but if you are saying relevant things, because right now you're just the typical example of the football casual who will join the global trashtalk on players/teams that are underperforming and scapegoated, and then act all surprised when you realise they are actually good players that you've just never see perform, in football the popular opinion ain't necessarily the right one.
Football is a complex combination of a ton of factors that you have to perfect to be the best team in the world, and in the end everything's played on details. There is a ton to learn about football, and the more you'll learn about it, the more you'll understand that it's unpredictable and impossible to draw conclusions about it.
You wrote this : "They have made French football so uncompetitive that winning the league, and every cup isn't an achievement, but a standard, and now the whole world looks at the French football as a joke is just a shame. If I was a PSG fan I'd be asking for the Qatari ownership to sell, they've had their experiment and they have proved that even with the most talented team in the world they still can't overcome the giants of world football which Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, and many others have proved time, and time again." so let me respond :
- French football is literally one of the best in the world if not the best nowadays lol i don't rly see who "looks at it as a joke"
- I am a PSG fan and I don't want the Qatari ownership to sell, you don't know how much they brought to the club. As soon as they arrived they made long term investments that will help the club for decades and made PSG a huge brand that can now generate the same revenues as the biggest clubs itw. On the sportive side they made PSG relevant in every sports and made sure to re-establish the relation with the ultras after there were banned from stadiums. Thanks to them i've seen Messi, Mbappe, Neymar etc... playing football in front of my eyes and you don't realize how insane it is.
- You comparing PSG with these teams is really dumb because : 1) PSG had never been the "most talented team itw" lmao they have always been better superteams these past years, especially in modern football where you have a ton of teams who are world class and can aim for the ucl unlike 10 years ago when u had 2/3 teams who were really untouchable every season. 2) Real Madrid literally did what PSG did except they did it even worse in an era without ffp or other superteams competing and it hasn't always succeeded neither 3) Bayern is bullying bundesliga which is a playing ground for ex-Ligue 1 players so idk what u r on, PSG winning the league hasn't stopped it from being a competitive league producing the best players itw. 4) Do i really have to talk about Barca ? lmao
@@Jeunelegende91 Real Madrid always bought from money they generated. PSG just throws money they get from quatar(they are in loss and and are now throwing huge cash at mbape). Earned vs spoiled...I don't know how the locals stomach this, I guess they sold out for fame..
And the projects, just wow. Even though man c is also an oil club, they have structure and stability. The ownership is not egotistic maniacs with uefa in pocket who are just looking at projecting the image of a big club with irrelevant signings. Man c have a sporting project and a plan. Psg is a dumpster fire.
1 year later, the same points still remains.
Thank you for the research done, it was a great watch. The future of PSG will be an interesting story
THANK YOU for pointing out that it was a clear dive in La Remontada. Some people absolutely refuse to acknowledge it
Its interesting in my team in Cyprus is Hervin Ongenda. He was meant to make it to the very top but his career stalled at a point where he came to a Romanian club being overweight. He had a chance for a move to Italian Chievo Verona but it didnt work out. Now he is in Cyprus trying to rebuild his career where he can get back into european football. Such a shame he was meant to be the next big thing
First of all, love the video, great work man. Second of all, BRO YOUR SOUNDTRACK IS SO DIVERSE I LOVE IT
PSG is the embodiment of "Throw sh*t to the wall and see what it sticks" because that's the only thing they had done since the oil money came, yes, they had won a few ligue tittles, but with the overwhelming amount of cash they have, it's crazy how little they have acomplish so far, compared to other clubs that has the same oil money model.

Almost one year later and nothing has changed.
So today in class, my teacher asked what PSG stands for? And then I proudly say “Paris Saint-Germain” then he laughed saying: it stands for “Polysomnogram” which means sleep which performance overnight through the monitor. And I shouted right back at him: Ey yo Mr. I see no difference between Paris Saint-Germain and polysomnography.
The face he made, made me realize that he is a PSG fan.
What a fun video, glad I stumbled on this channel!
Returning to this after they bottled it against Dortmund, and I am freaking pissed at this team.
All of that money and all of that talent and you only have *ONE* UCL Finals appearance in 12 years?
And that was in a COVID year with opponents below PSG's level (Dortmund, Atalanta & Leipzig).
Let's just list the famous names who played (and/or still play) for PSG in these 12 years:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, David Luis, Marco Verratti, Angel di Maria, Julian Draxler (before he fell to shit), Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Idrissa Gueye, Gianluigi Buffon, Kevin Trapp, Gianluigi Donnaruma, Sergio Ramos, Georginho Wijnaldum, Achraf Hakimi, Lionel Messi, Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, Marquinhos and so much more.
All of that talent... And you have less UCL Finals appearances in the last 12 years than *Dortmund.* You know, the team known for bottling the Bundesliga last year? With old men Mats Hummels and Marco Reus? How in Qatar's name you made *Nicklas Füllkrug* into a God?
And the best part? Mbappe's leaving after this season. I would say you're fucked, but that would probably be a compliment. This team is fucking pathetic...
You're right. This was so worth the wait. Great vid.
Nice video, but i thought you'd discuss what might be the issue this club is facing. Like your opinions on it and how it can improve for psg, etc.
bro they gotta understand buying players dont fix your problems just gotta make them a team with a good coach and consistent rather than chasing the next star just build a consistent team like real
I guess in terms of the Paris FC and PSG dynamic, you can say that Paris FC is Hydrox and PSG is Oreos. One is the original but the other one is the more well-known and commercially successful.
Fantastic video. Very informative video. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
