The just-concluded second leg of the Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid was a disastrous result for Paris, the team in the first leg of the 1-0 lead, and the second leg of the first goal, it was tragically reversed by the opponent, Benzema's play is indeed very anti-heavenly, but when a team habitually in the Champions League field by the opponent reversed, which shows that the team is indeed a big problem. What makes the Parisians feel even more desperate is that now that Mbappe is likely to leave the team in the summer, will the club really expect Neymar, who is now in poor physical condition, and Messi, whose peak has long passed, to lead the team?
The match with Real Madrid is of great significance to Paris, on the one hand, the team competes for the Champions League trophy that the team has been hoping to win all these years, and the second point is whether it can eliminate Real Madrid, which will largely affect Mbappe's decision for the future. Although Mbappe himself has been very determined to join Real Madrid, if Paris can really eliminate the opponent in this Champions League, then this is bound to make the club feel a little relieved and confident about leaving Mbappe, but the team's fragile performance, how can Mbappe be willing to stay?
Especially in the 2 rounds, it was Mbappe who scored, but Neymar and Messi were a mess, if Neymar had good villains and assists, then Messi's play in these 2 games was disastrous, he lost penalties in the first leg, and most of the time in the second leg did not create a threat at all. So now a question that could be worse and worse than a Champions League exit arises, and Paris really have to count on Messi and Neymar to lead the team next season?
Judging from Messi's performance after joining Paris this season, his state is completely judged by two people compared to the peak period, this season Ligue 1 has only scored 2 goals so far, but his number of shots is not many, which shows that he is not what some media and fans say that he has been playing in midfield, but I don't know if he really lost the crosshairs, or he still has no feeling in Ligue 1, and the efficiency is so poor.
In addition, Messi still runs very little on the pitch, which is also a question, is he used to this style of play for so many years and refuses to run more, or is it really a crazy decline in physical function as he ages? But with such an older, poor state, and possibly really a sharp decline in physical function, is Paris really at ease to let him lead the team?
Neymar's situation is not much better, his skills and talent are indeed super top-notch, but these years because of excessive distractions on the field and constant injuries, it is a problem for him to play a stable game, let alone really lead the team as a team leader.
At the moment, Paris need to figure out the question of how mbappe will build a team when he leaves the team (most likely). The team has spent countless sums of money on transfers over the years, buying a lot of big-name players, but in addition to Mbappe and Neymar, as well as a few defenders, many of their reinforcement ideas are very confusing. For example, I like to buy older players very much, and it is difficult to believe that this is what a giant with sufficient funds and wants to rise should do. As far as the current situation of Messi and Neymar is concerned, it is estimated that Paris itself does not dare to entrust them with the responsibility of leading the team.
