I have always felt that PSG was not a serious club despite the class of players in the club.
If you could remember some years back when Madrid and PSG played, at this same stage, they lost. This wasn't because they were not good enough, it was because they were not serious enough.

Neymar was all about dribbling and doing a lot of skills.
He threw almost all their chances away at the time.
In fact, I feel one of the problems of PSG is Neymar.
As of yesterday, PSG scored first making the aggregate score 2-0.
Now, this was going to require Madrid to score 3 goals and not concede any goal.
As at the first half, I was so disappointed as I had bragged about Madrid winning the match and there they were losing already.
Shortly after, Mbappe scored an offside goal which almost scared the shit out of me in the second half.
Not so long after I discovered that Benzema started trying a lot of shots at the target and this was when I knew the battle line had been drawn. Although after rewatching the match I discovered he started from the beginning of the match.
PSG was not able to stand the pressure of an all attack game and that was where the problem started
Pochettino lacks the winning mentality.

I feel that one of the biggest problems of the club right now is the mentality of the coach.
To win the champion's league, there is a mentality that is attached to it...
He is a coach who is comfortable with his current status. He doesn't mind losing at this stage.
I mean what stops you from locking your defence after the first goal.
I mean Neymar and Messi don't have to play a full match if you have to win.
A very strong defensive midfielder would have done a great job at stopping the midfielders.
An extra defender will have locked the whole game entirely.
Another thing he could have done was to switch to a possession game instead of attacking...
Messi-problem or solution
Sincerely, I think Messi in PSG was one of the most terrible decisions made so far.
Yes, the team has a few strong guys but they lack cohesion and hence, Messi in the team brings more anarchy.
The only thing I can't understand is how Messi fails to deliver under pressure...
It beats my imagination every single time.
I feel Messi is too great a player not to have perfected the act of playing penalties under pressure.
Mbappe needs to leave PSG to get the recognition he deserves.

After seeing Mbappe yesterday, I concluded that the guy is too good to be playing in PSG and I think he should consider playing in either Real Madrid or Mancity.
His technique in front of the net is outstanding. He was able to score two goals against Real Madrid home as away.
He needs to move out of Paris.
He will fit so well in Real Madrid. I mean having to play side by side with Benzema will be great for him.
Benzema: Captain Fantastic

If there is something I am so sure about, is the efficiency of this man.
He handles the ball beautifully and will always rise to the occasion when needed.
He proved himself worthy by pressuring the Keeper every time he had the chance to.
In all, it was a great Match and from today I can confidently say PSG is the most unserious club to play in Europe followed by Manchester United.
