“Paris’ problem is when the No. Messi tries very hard, they didn’t all work out; but around him, the other players also need to do their jobs.” Messi’s arrival at the Parc des Princes was supposed to be the missing piece that would help PSG finally win the Champions League, the trophy the club’s Qatari owners crave the most.

Messi becomes target for fan discontent as PSG problems deepen (BeSoccer EN)

A malaise has set in around Paris Saint-Germain since their exit from the Champions League, with a section of the club's support turning on Lionel Messi ...

Meanwhile Luis Campos, effectively PSG's sporting director, is pondering how to build a team around Kylian Mbappe that will be strong enough to finally go all the way in the Champions League next season. While major clubs like Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have all sacked managers in recent weeks, Galtier is hanging on in Paris for now. One difference at PSG this year is the backdrop of Qatar's interest in Manchester United, which has led to questions about the Gulf state's commitment going forward. As a consequence, PSG's apparent march towards a record 11th French title - and a ninth in 12 seasons of Qatari ownership - has been slowed and their lead at the top of the table from Lens and Marseille is down to six points with nine games left. Meanwhile, jeering Messi might seem absurd, just a few months after he crowned his career by leading Argentina to glory at the World Cup. The Argentine then turned in a flat display as his team lost 1-0 against mid-table opponents, their second straight defeat in Ligue 1, both at home and both without scoring a goal.
