Leonardo, the sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, has admitted mistakes, after the frustrated fans refused to celebrate the record-equalization of winning the tenth French Ligue 1 title on Saturday.

Instead of the usual shouts and enthusiastic cheers on such occasions, the fans left the Parc des Princes stadium after the team secured the title with a 1-1 draw with Lens.

For the fans, the title did not give them consolation after another failure in the Champions League.

Mauricio Pochettino's team was knocked out of the round of 16 by Real Madrid, after wasting a two-goal lead in the confrontation.

"I made mistakes," Leonardo told Canal Plus. "I did things in transfers and management that might have affected the results."

Saint-Germain and Saint-Etienne shared the title of the most crowned club in the French top flight.

However, despite the abundance of talent in the squad, led by Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar, Saint-Germain will have to be satisfied with the local league title this year, after its early exit from the French Cup as well.

"Everyone has an influence in the season and we must take responsibility," Leonardo added, referring to "making decisions" after the end of the season, without clarifying what they are.

And about the behavior of the public, the Brazilian official said, "Expectations were high, so the disappointment is just as great."

Midfielder Marco Verratti was annoyed by the indifference of the fans in Saturday's match.

"We made every effort, and at some point we have to move forward," the Italian said.

Captain Marquinhos added, "Last year we didn't win the title, and this hurt us a lot, so we have to enjoy as much as possible when we win. This atmosphere is unfortunate but football is our passion."

"It's unfortunate, but we have to deal with the situation. There are good and bad sides. We won a title and we must continue to have good results and work during the season, even if the team is not good in Europe."

Pochettino, who has not made a big impression at Saint-Germain in 16 months, hopes that fans will begin to appreciate the victories rather than the constant regret of the defeats.

The Argentine coach said, "We are going through a difficult period with the fans, and we hope that the relationship will improve. We are in a democracy and accept all protests, but we must show respect for this title."

"The football club is about the energy between the team and its fans, so we have to understand deeply what has happened this season and make decisions," Leonardo continued.
