Two summers have now passed without constant speculation in Paris: Kylian Mbappé going or staying? The top scorer of the last World Cup ended up starting this season as a PSG player, while the other two members of the MNM attacking trio, Lionel Messi and Neymar, left the French capital. Mbappé may be regretting his decision right now, it is certain that after the 4-1 loss of the Champions League group match against Newcastle United, he immediately entered the dressing room angrily. PSG suffered the heaviest BL group round defeat of the Qatari era, and Saudi-owned Newcastle won by the biggest margin in the history of the European elite series.

If we focus on the rosters, even after the departure of Messi and Neymar, several stars from the two Arab-owned clubs are clearly playing football in PSG, the total value of the Paris squad over one billion euros according to Transfermarkt, the same indicator for the English team does not even reach 600 million. On the other hand, it has already been clear that Newcastle is building its team much more consciously, with cohesion in mind, and this has now been confirmed on the pitch as well.
The roster of Almirón, Burn, Longstaff, Schär doesn’t look defeated, yet this four was on the scorers’ list when PSG suffered the heaviest group stage defeat of the Qatari era. The French team only received a bigger slap in the knockout phase in 2017, when despite winning the first match 4-0, they were eliminated in the round of 16 against Barcelona, the Catalans won the second leg 6-1. Luis Enrique was justifiably happy as Barca’s head coach at the time, but now he manages PSG, but after the heavy defeat he joined fashion and focused on the positives.
