"They have the best players in the world. And this is brilliant because it shows you how important it is to actually be a team. It is really important in football. We love individuals within a team but that is not a team. Kylian Mbappe has got to leave that club."

"I'm glad they are out. They are not a team, they're just a mess..."

It remains to be seen if PSG's Champions League exit will lead to Christophe Galtier being sacked as their manager.

PSG turn attention towards winning Ligue 1

Les Parisiens began their 2022-23 season on a high, winning the Trophee des Champions in July last year. They have also been at the top of the Ligue 1 table since the start of the campaign.

However, the Parisians have not been at their best since returning from the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They were eliminated from the Coupe de France last month and have now been knocked out of the Champions League.

The Ligue 1 title is all that is left for Galtier and Co. to play for this season. Boasting an eight-point lead over second-placed Olympique Marseille, the club will hope to retain their crown with hiccups.
