PSG are not as good as Barca, Madrid, or Bayern. But the gap isn't that big. Why do so many guys on here shite on them so much? They have a ton of talent. Talent wins.




The issue is bc they are so much better than everyone in their league they struggle in Europe. When you are not tested for weeks upon weeks its hard to turn it on just over night.

How bad is the tax siuation in France compared to other countries in Europe? Seems like thats part of the problem.

PSG get tested more than people who don't watch a lot of Ligue 1 realize.

Not sure it really makes any difference since it only effects so few superstars and the amount is not that much compared to other EU countries.


Ligue 1 has actually seemed to be getting stronger the last few years.

This is both true and false. The flip side is they can really focus their efforts on the CL opponents in a way that other clubs in the thick of it can't.

We saw last year that PSG dilly dallied a lot the first half of the season, then really turned on the jets the second half. They are everyone's cup final in France so they do get everybody's best shot. That doesn't matter as much as some of the lower table clubs who don't have much talent but the French league down to the 10th or 11th club in the standings is fairly underrated by most.
