PSG Cup Exit: Introspection Needed

More than a surprise, a slap in the face! Monday at the Parc des Princes, PSG fell in the 16th round of the Coupe de France by losing against Paris FC (0-1) at the end of a match that they nevertheless dominated. 25 shots to 4, 70% possession… And in the end, a defeat which saw him abandon his ambition of full success from January 12.

You honestly had to be a soothsayer to predict this scenario. Some will say, however, that such an epilogue was predictable, that the signals were too strong to think that the Parisians would remain invincible. After a first part of the season marked by injuries and three titles won on penalties, they finally cracked. A return to earth that hurts and challenges.
