Expert skepticism over PSG’s ambitions

**Skepticism within France is palpable.** Renowned analyst Samir Nasri expressed doubts about PSG’s chances of capturing the coveted Champions League trophy this season. **”I can’t see them going all the way,”** he remarked during a YouTube La Zone interview. **Nasri highlighted the squad’s deficiencies** but noted that, like Real Madrid, PSG often peaks in the crucial months of February and March.

Transfer market scrutiny

**Nasri criticized PSG’s summer transfer activities,** suggesting they fell short of expectations. **”Are we too harsh on PSG?”** he pondered, referencing last season’s Champions League semi-final appearance and the loss of Mbappé. **Luis Enrique’s claim that the team could improve without Mbappé** was met with skepticism. Nasri argued that, given PSG’s resources, they should consistently reach at least the quarter-finals. **”I expect more from PSG,”** he concluded, emphasizing the need for better squad management.
