Like our scores at the end of the Parisian collective rout, Saturday on the lawn of Nantes (3-1, 25th day of Ligue 1), the PSG players were not spared beyond the Pyrenees either. .
The Spanish press, four days after the first leg (1-0) and 18 days before the return leg (March 9), thus reveled in the bankruptcy of the capital club at La Beaujoire.
Attentive to Nantes-PSG as much as to Real-Alavés (3-0), which was disputed at the same time at the Santiago-Bernabeu, the Spanish media are not kind to the players of Mauricio Pochettino.
“PSG took a bath of humility in Nantes, they liquidated their chances of winning the match during a catastrophic first period”, analyzes Marca.
With a title that is meant to be prophetic: "Nantes showed the way to Ancelotti's men".

“With Neymar, Messi and Mbappé, PSG have one less defender and the intensity of Nantes has been a nightmare for the Parisians.

It is finally the Mundo Deportivo which perhaps best sums up the dirty Parisian evening, a “torture” close to the unreal: “PSG in Ligue 1 is the antithesis of the one we see in Europe.
They wait for mathematics to make them champions while they worry about the Champions League”.
The Parisians now have two meetings, against Saint-Étienne (February 26) and Nice (March 5), to silence the critics and regain the momentum that was theirs.
