“PSG is an unpleasant team”

A week ago L’Équipe revealed that the cost of PSG’s squad amounts to 625 million. To situate ourselves, I will add that Madrid’s is of the order of 400. But PSG, as Tebas has reiterated on so many occasions, has a State behind it, and that allows it to pay transfers and salaries that, in addition to giving it an illegal competitive advantage, it distorts the market of those who, like Madrid, do not have more resources than those provided by the industry. PSG is not even well regarded in France, where traditional clubs see it as something artificial fueled by money from a distant country. Caprice of a sheikh.

Even his behavior in the failed Super League, and beware that this is an initiative that I don’t like very much, was unpleasant. He flirted for a while and eventually sided with UEFA with Al Khelaifi now ECA chairman, a post previously held by Agnelli. He is already guaranteed for longer that Ceferin will look the other way when they talk to him about financial ‘fair play’, an issue, by the way, that the Superliga bases did not address either. They established a percentage limit for the cost of the workforce with respect to the budget, but no caution against external injections of money, which was the cause of the problem.

And then there are the ultras, spoiled in general throughout France, but especially at PSG. It is already known that the ultras are like spoiled teenagers, that the more they are given, the more they demand, until they turn against their parents. Or from the club. But, he looks where, this is going to be good for Madrid because one of the reasons why Mbappé wants to come to Madrid is because he hates and even fears that rabble, to which the club grants an intolerable role. In short, this tie pits the most genuine representative of football ever against the most opposite that may exist.
