Paris Saint-Germain are clueless! The most expensive team in France and their manager Mauricio Pochettino got another footballing lesson from Christophe Galtier, the coach who led Lille to the unlikely title win last season. A year ago, Les Dogues sensationally won at Parc des Princes to rob PSG of the Ligue 1 title, and tonight Nice eliminated the Saints from the French Cup.Galtier set his team up perfectly to soak attack after attack up with some ease and make the 5,000 home fans bite their nails with frustration. It’s hard to believe that a team consisting of players such as Lionel Messi, Marco Verratti, Ander Herrera, Julian Draxler and Mauro Icardi can look so poor going forward. PSG are out of the Coupe de France in the round of 16 after losing on penalties to Nice 😬 pic.twitter.com/CMkJdFXnDS— B/R Football (@brfootball) January 31, 2022 For all their ball possession and domination, the Parisians had just two shots on target over 90 minutes – and neither of those looked like it was going to beat Marcin Bulka, PSG’s goalkeeper who was sent on loan to Nice – because he wasn’t good enough to play for Paris. Oh, the irony!It was Bulka who stopped to penalty kicks, including the last one from Xavi Simmons to knock his employers from the national cup – and he celebrated wholeheartedly.Nice’s heroes Morgan Schneiderlin, Justin Kluivert, Jordan Amavi and especially captain Dante could have snatched a winner over the 90 minutes of regulation time, but perhaps the shoot-out win makes it all the sweeter.As the visiting players celebrated their deserved win, the TV cameras focused on Messi’s joyless, expressionless face. He left Barcelona to play for a world-class team that’s brimming with ambition. This wasn’t what he signed for. And he doesn’t look like the player Paris’ fans thought they were getting.
