PSG up against it in Champions League as Qatari project risks drifting

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain have developed a reputation over the last decade as being one of Europe's most glamorous clubs, albeit without ever claiming the Champions League glory so coveted by their Qatari owners.

The article from The Manila Times discusses the challenges faced by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League, highlighting the potential drift of their Qatari-backed project. Despite significant investments and the acquisition of high-profile players like Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, and Lionel Messi, PSG has struggled to secure the coveted Champions League trophy. The team's recent performance has been inconsistent, with a notable loss to Borussia Dortmund in the group stage, putting them at risk of an early exit. The article points out the pressure on coach Luis Enrique to deliver results, especially with the looming possibility of Mbappé's departure. It also reflects on the broader implications for Qatari ambitions in European football, questioning whether the financial strategy and focus on star players can truly translate into sustained success in Europe's premier club competition.
