The recent outings of Paris Saint-Germain have sparked some concern. Following a commanding 5-0 victory against Olympique de Marseille on February 8, the capital’s club suffered a 1-3 defeat to Rennes in Ligue 1 and then struggled to secure a 2-1 win against Monaco in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs this Tuesday evening.

Signs of inconsistency worry PSG followers

Despite showing resilience by coming back from behind on several occasions, PSG’s current form has raised eyebrows among observers like former player José-Karl Pierre-Fanfan. In a discussion with a prominent French newspaper, he noted stark differences between how the French champions are performing now compared to the latter half of last season.

„Possession was largely ineffective“

„This isn’t the PSG that provided the assurances of last season, especially in the second half when they managed to clinch the Champions League,“ Pierre-Fanfan remarked. „Defensively, they were very solid back then. Now, we see goals conceded from lost possessions. They’re not playing at a Champions League pace; they’re just coasting and getting punished for it.“

He continued, „It felt like even with ten more minutes, nothing significant would happen. Their possession was largely ineffective, lacking intensity in the final third. This is a team that’s struggling both individually and collectively, and they’re finding it hard to be decisive at the moment.“
