PSG’s Worst Humiliations in the Champions League Under QSI: Disillusionments and Defeats

1/15

PSG’s worst humiliations in the Champions League under QSI

Bought in 2011 by Qatar Sports Investments, Paris Saint-Germain has been chasing its first victory in the Champions League ever since. A difficult quest, for the moment punctuated by numerous disillusionments.

2/15

PSG-Chelsea 2014, 3-1 in the first leg

Exited in the quarter-finals the previous season, PSG has a glimpse of the semi-finals after its victory at the Parc against Chelsea, with a fabulous goal from Javier Pastore in added time.

3/15

Chelsea-PSG 2014, 2-0 in the return

On the way back, PSG suffered and finally collapsed in the 87th minute, with a goal from Demba Ba. PSG is eliminated because of the away goal rule.

4/15

PSG-Barcelona 2015, 1-3 in the first leg

This April 15, 2015, Barça easily won at the Parc des Princes, thanks to a goal from Neymar and a double from Luis Suarez. Even if Van der Wiel reduced the score, PSG has already almost lost all its chances of qualifying for the last four of the Champions League.

5/15

Barcelona-PSG 2015, 2-0 in the return

Only six days after the home defeat, PSG lost again against Barça. The players of the capital club will unanimously recognize their helplessness against the Catalan team, after their defeat at the Camp Nou.

6/15

PSG-Barcelona 2017, 4-0 in the first leg

Facing Barça from the Messi-Suarez-Neymar trio, Paris Saint-Germain put out an exceptional performance, and corrected a Catalan collective that we then thought was at the end of the race. With this 4-0 in the first leg, PSG has a 100% chance of qualifying, if we rely on the history of the European Cups…

7/15

Barcelona-PSG 2017, 6-1 in the return

Luis Enrique was Barça’s coach when PSG had their comeback at the Camp Nou.

8/15

Man Utd-PSG 2019, 0-2 in the first leg

Faced with Manchester United who have just parted ways with José Mourinho, PSG showed solidity in the first leg, and won 2-0 at Old Trafford, with goals from Kimpembe and Mbappé.

9/15

PSG-Man Utd 2019, 1-3 in the return

Two years after Barcelona’s comeback, PSG fell into torpor in the return match against Manchester United. Buffon has a hole, Mbappé misses his opportunities, and the Parc des Princes becomes more and more feverish as the minutes pass. Until this penalty in added time, on a handball from Kimpembe, which Rashford is responsible for transforming.

10/15

PSG-Bayern 2020, 0-1

PSG played its first Champions League final in 2020, as part of the Final 8 in Lisbon. Despite a great Neymar, the Rouge et Bleu gave in to Bayern Munich (0-1), on a goal from a former member of the house, Kingsley Coman. Here, we will rather speak of disillusionment rather than humiliation.

11/15

PSG-Real Madrid 2022, 1-0 in the first leg

After a closed match, Kylian Mbappé broke the deadlock with a personal exploit in added time. The Bondynois, at the end of his contract, is very damaging to the club which ardently covets him.

12/15

Real Madrid-PSG 2022, 3-1 in the return

At the Bernabeu, Mbappé is still untouchable, and opens the scoring. But the unthinkable happens again: PSG sinks in 17 minutes, time for Karim Benzema to score a killer hat-trick.

13/15

Newcastle-PSG 2023, 4-1

Since the comeback in 2017, the capital club had not lost by such a large score. Wednesday evening, Luis Enrique’s men suffered a real collective shipwreck, well embodied by a ghostly Kylian Mbappé.

14/15

Newcastle-PSG 2023, 4-1

Even if it is only a group match and PSG is in second place in its group, this crushing defeat could leave its mark for the rest of the season.

15/15

Newcastle-PSG 2023, 4-1

Luis Enrique is one of the main culprits for this debacle, with an incomprehensible 4-2-4 tactical scheme. On October 25, PSG will host AC Milan. Under QSI, the capital club has always come out of the group stages in the Champions League. If it didn’t happen this season, it would be an additional humiliation, perhaps even worse than the others…
