PSG put a huge blow to the suspense of the French Ligue 1 championship by beating Monaco this Wednesday evening (2-4). After winning against OL three days earlier, Luis Enrique’s team sent a strong message, but continues to fuel the debate on La Chaîne L’Equipe.
In difficulty at the start of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain nevertheless achieved a rather deserved victory on the AS Monaco pitch on Wednesday evening (2-4). Throughout the match, Ousmane Dembélé’s teammates were dominant and proved if necessary that they had an immense margin over the other teams in Ligue 1, including the teams at the top of the table. Three days after beating OL, PSG defeated a top 3 team. A sequence which proves that Luis Enrique’s team has an immense margin in the league, which is obviously not the case in the Champions League .
This also raises questions about the real value of the Parisian workforce. A debate which sparked strong tensions on the set of L’Equipe du Soir after the success of Paris in princely lands. Giovanni Castaldi was particularly angry, congratulating PSG for its power in Ligue 1 and defending the capital club against Nabil Djellit and Stéphane Guy, who were rather critical of “the worst PSG in the history of QSI”.
Giovanni Castaldi defends PSG and gets angry
“We were told that PSG was the weakest in the QSI era and that Marseille and Monaco had a chance of being French champions. We are completely impressed by this Champions League story with Paris Saint-Germain. The observation is that Lille, Brest and Monaco are having great performances in the Champions League, but we are at the break and PSG is 10 points ahead in Ligue 1. When I see ASM against PSG, They have great players but they are a team of fits and starts” first explained the one who sometimes presents the EDS, before continuing.
“The workforce is not the same as that of Paris? But I don’t know, you keep criticizing the PSG squad! Honestly, you guys are being dishonest. I play all the Champions League matches with you and you spend your time saying that PSG spent their money on wooden players and that the squad is overrated. I’m not talking about Europe, I’m talking about Ligue 1! When PSG wins, it’s the money and when they lose, it’s because they use the money badly. commented the journalist from the Chaîne L’Equipe, believing that Luis Enrique’s team sometimes deserves criticism in the Champions League, which does not prevent the fact that on the national scene, Paris SG is almost irresistible, especially against the big guys. The proof is with this comfortable lead at Christmas, with 10 points more than OM and Monaco.
