PSG blows up: Mbappé and Messi touched, four defeats, anger and diarrhea in the locker room and a mayor against Neymar

Everything you can't buy with a Qatari sovereign wealth fund is happening at PSG, and at the same time.

PSG went to the World Cup break without being able to snatch first place from Benfica in the group stage, but at least without losing a game.

In less than a month and a half of 2023 they have already lost four: Cup elimination against Olympique de Lyon (2-1) and three League games: Lens (3-1), Rennes (1-0) and Monaco (3- 1).

The fault of the situation, according to

, is that the group is "physically outmatched, tactically lost and ineffective", but also that its stars cannot leave the infirmary.

Verrati has a muscle injury in his right quadriceps, and of the last six league games he has only appeared in one, and to last 59 minutes on the pitch.

He will try again today.

Messi missed the last one against Monaco due to a hamstring strain, in what appears to be a precautionary withdrawal, and Mbappé had been missing since February 1.

The Germans have not lost since September 17 and have scored 11 goals in the last three games.

Then in the locker room, together with captain

Nerves before the visit from Bayern made him go down to the showers and accuse his team of lacking aggressiveness.

The fans think the same as Campos.

They have spent all of 2023 whistling the team, and singing
