One of the biggest differences between PSG and Real Madrid is that no one from Real Madrid wants to be at PSG and more than one from PSG (perhaps all of them?) would like to be at Real Madrid. The call of the petrodollar is like the call of the sirens of The odyssey, while the soundless call from Madrid sounds, forgive the redundancy and despite everything, as if Ben. E King will sing to you Stand by Me while you watch that story, The bodyby Stephen King brought to the screen by Rob Reiner.
Madrid is childhood and adolescence and PSG is an oriental maturity, full of luxuries back. Madrid is The curious Case of Benjamin Button in the yearning for the youth of Scott Fitzgerald and PSG is the boring existence of the sultan who counts riches like French leagues while dreaming of going on a summer hike and lighting a fire in the woods and sleeping with friends telling old stories of Di Stefano and of People and the European Cup.

Those responsible for the French team want to make him a Parisian Real Madrid that it will never be but always a second and only lucrative alternative that has not even been able to be in the field, so far from the times of raí, Weah The Ginolathose that still had the romanticism of an emerging and not decadent Paris.
PSG is one last lavish destination or a prosperous barge like Jabba the Hut where wayward players are tied up like Princess Leia. Nobody wants to go to PSG except in passing (like Pochettino himself) or at the end. What counts in this tie is also that, the key just mentioned is having to face one’s own childhoodto the summer of happiness that is Madrid while what you want is to live in it.
