Mbappe with never hit the heights people think he can at PSG. They walked the league, then the team totally lost interest after they went out in the CL. PSG, the club you go to if you're not up for a challenge/fullfilling your potential. It's like when you used to see people sign for Celtic. People only got there for CL football. AT least with Celtic there's competition for the league.... well there used to be at least.
Quite reminiscent with what happened to Barcelona or Juventus this year, no ?
All of them ended the season in a bad way after their CL exit and lost their national cup.
Why is it always PSG that is viewed this negatively though ?
It reminds me when people were laughing at PSG issueing a statement about Mbappé after his controversial speech. Real Madrid just showed it has nothing to do with the status of the club but the importance of the player when they had to do all that stuff for Sergio Ramos in the previous days.
And comparing PSG to Celtic nowadays...
Celtic is a very great club with great fans but can you point out where exactly it is "more competitive" than PSG as a club or the league they are playing into ? PSG played Celtic in Champions League and it was evident there was a gulf between the two teams. PSG youngsters are enjoying themselves at Celtic (Dembélé, Edouard, it is harder for Weah). Celtic has won 8 leagues in a row, Bayern 8 in a row, Juventus 7 in a row. It is only PSG second league in a row at the moment.
I swear, people like to talk negatively about french league as being sooo shit and at the same time they kind of value Eridivisie or Scottish League who are nowhere near Ligue 1. It would be funny if it wasn't becoming an alternative truth since it is so much rehashed without any thinking.
Just a reminder that those leagues don't even have a direct qualifier spot for CL. But hey, Ligue 1 soooo bad.
