PSG will face Dortmund in the first leg of this year’s Champions League semi-finals. The French team is getting closer and closer to winning the first Champions League championship in history.
Lionel Messi was criticized for dragging Paris Saint-Germain back |
PSG was crowned Ligue 1 champion early. Luis Enrique’s army can win 4 titles this season despite losing superstar Lionel Messi in the summer.
French football expert Julien Laurens believes that PSG’s improvement this season comes from a change in mentality within the team, and another reason is that Kylian Mbappe has suppressed his ego.
“PSG’s progress comes from a few reasons. This is the last season before the big change, with Mbappe leaving after 7 years.
At this point, PSG’s dressing room has fewer problems and fewer egos. No more Messi, no more Neymar, no more Verratti. These are players who play well on the field but can cause unrest in the dressing room.
Messi doesn’t care too much. Now in the dressing room there are people who interact well with everyone, people who joke in all languages. There used to be groups in the locker room, but now there are no more.
Kylian Mbappe can also cause disturbances. But now he wants to enjoy the season. His ego has been reined in. All of those things combine to help this team become the most cohesive team since Qatar arrived.”
