Time for PSG ‘to keep the chasing pack at distance,’ says coach Galtier

Antonio Losada — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 14:13:18 +0000

Already past mid-October and only four teams from Europe’s Big Five leagues remain undefeated: Napoli, Atalanta, Real Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain. Of those four, and even though it’s played one more game than the rest, PSG lead the way with 29 total points earned. Not bad for a club that doesn’t know how to escape […]

It’s funny that we’re already past the midpoint of October. Funny that the French Ligue 1 has completed 10 full rounds of play and that Paris Saint-Germain is sitting at the top of the table even with one game (tonight’s Classique) in hand on the next-best two teams in France. Funny that Kylian Mbappe, Lionel […]

Is Cristiano Ronaldo the missing piece to fixing the PSG-Mbappe hassle?

Antonio Losada — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 05:30:03 +0000

Cristiano Ronaldo needs a new club as much as Paris Saint-Germain needs a new player. Namely, a new “pivot” to play next to Kylian Mbappe, calm the waters, bring back the early-season goals galore and add another bright star to the already blinding ones inhabiting the Parisian sky.

Frustrated PSG held to goalless draw by Reims away from home

Antonio Losada — Sun, 09 Oct 2022 13:00:15 +0000

For a team whose goal is winning its first UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain’s performance against Reims on Saturday, coming off a midweek draw against Benfica, was more than a little underwhelming. Christophe Galtier’s side was incredibly frustrated, inoperant, short-circuited, and halted to a nil-nil tie by the 14th team in France’s Ligue 1 in […]
