PSG QUALIFIÉ EN 8ÈME DE FINALE DE LDC ✅🔴🔵
Le tenant du titre est toujours là.
Mais alors… encore un match catastrophique.
Laborieux du début à la fin.
On passe, oui. Mais dans la douleur.
Il va falloir hausser le niveau si on veut aller au bout. 💭🔥

Pendant ses 8 matches de poule de #LDC, le #PSG a joué contre 7 équipes qui ont terminé dans les 16 premiers. Cela signifie qu'ils n'ont affronté qu'une seule des 20 plus mauvaises équipes !!! 😲

L'OM (270 millions d'euros de budget) termine derrière Galatasaray (177 M€), le Sporting Portugal (128 M€), le Club Bruges (90 M€), l'Olympiakos Le Pirée (65 M€). Et surtout, derrière Bodo/Glimt (40 M€) et le FK Qarabag (30 M€), et ne devance Pafos (40 M€) qu'à la meilleure attaque. #UCL #OM #LDC

Sabordage contre le Sporting, erreur d'arbitrage contre l'Atalanta, bien payé contre Saint-Gilles, un non-match contre Liverpool, une fin de match honteuse contre Bruges. C'était beaucoup trop pour espérer être dans le top 24. Cet OM est à sa place, exclu du grand raout européen. #LDC #UCL #CBOM
