Another day, another disappointment for PSG. I didn't even recognize the names of those who missed the penalties, but this was a huge upset no matter how you look at it. UCL is all they can look for now, Ligue 1 is not enough.
And about Messi stats, he is no longer carrying the weight of the team on his shoulders. I think if you dig into the stats more, you see he contributes more to the team's playing style now, no longer is he counted on for goals, nor should he be.
Maybe the match was not so important for PSG, but such a defeat against Nice is very embarrassing. They failed to score a single goal, despite having an experienced goalkeeper like Donnarumma, PSG lost on penalties.
The PSG team has yet to find their best formation and strategy. PSG should change the coach. PSG's management should try its best to appoint Zidane as coach. The PSG squad has a lot of experienced players, now they only need experienced coaches.
Of course, with the quality of the players that PSG have, it's a disappointment to lose on penalties against Nice. Although Nice is not a weak team,
and now Nice in Ligue 1 is in second place behind PSG, but PSG should be able to beat Nice. Lionel Messi played from the start of the game but
couldn't score or provide assists, even Mbappe was included in the 64th minute, still PSG could not score a single goal. I agree with you that
PSG's problem is with their coach, Pochettino was not experienced at handling big clubs before, so Pochettino was difficult to control the star players
at PSG. My suggestion is that PSG should look for a coach who is used to dealing with big clubs, Zidane who once coached Real Madrid was
a good choice. I doubt even Pochettino can make PSG win the Champions League trophy this season.
