"PSG are not a team"

Bayern Munich will face Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals after knocking Paris Saint-Germain out of the competition.

Former Bayern player Philipp Lahm talked about the French team in 'The Guardian': "PSG are not a team. Kylian Mbappe is a story in himself. He undoubtedly has world‑class skills, and he grabs hold of Ligue 1 with ease.

"But his talent is not embedded. In Munich he was constantly waiting for the ball to fall at his feet. It is difficult to imagine how his career will blossom in Paris. So PSG have the two players who thrilled the planet in the World Cup final, plus Neymar, Brazil’s best footballer of the past decade, as well as Real’s Madrid’s former captain and a four-times Champions League winner, plus two current European champions. They are all among the most famous footballers in the world but in two duels with Bayern nothing remotely otherworldly emerged," he added.

"Nothing that aroused enthusiasm. Nothing that you want to be a part of. One can feel sorry for PSG fans. Their hope that something will grow together dies anew every year. This exorbitantly expensive team resemble a luxury department store, displaying precious exhibits that everyone marvels at but no one can afford," he concluded.
