Paris Saint-Germain’s long, winding and extremely expensive road to Champions League glory has taken yet another turn this summer.
Since completing their takeover of the Ligue 1 giants in 2011, Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) have spent more than a billion pounds on transfers, but have yet to lift Europe’s biggest prize. Carlo Ancelotti, Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and most recently Mauricio Pochettino have all tried, and failed to take PSG all the way.
Tuchel has come the closest to ending their quest, losing out in the final vs Bayern Munich in 2020, while Pochettino came up short in his two seasons in charge. The Argentine is now set to depart, with Christophe Galtier set to become the latest man to take his place in the Parc des Princes dugout.
