In Germany, after Bayern Munich's 2-0 victory against Paris SG on Wednesday, the
Süddeutsche Zeitung
bites: “
Mbappé?
Messi?
Choupo-Moting!
".
And assures: “
Faced with disappointing Parisian stars, the Munich residents showed what to do.
Coach Nagelsmann has also acquired some certainties.
“
Nothing worked, not a sprint from Kylian Mbappé, not a flash of genius from Lionel Messi.
The 0-2 in Munich shows that this Paris Saint-Germain team has learned nothing - and that coach Christophe Galtier has failed with it , ”said
Kicker
for his part .
To discover
Champions League fixtures and results
In Spain,
Sport
bars its front page with "
Failure
" which overwhelms the stars Mbappé and Messi.
Marca takes advantage of the new disillusion "
Bayern destroys the umpteenth European project of PSG
", to display Kylian Mbappé, face closed, upset in One, and open a door to the future: "
If you want to win the Champions League, you know …
” Before adding: “
Goodbye (in French in the text), The 1.59 billion invested in transfers since the arrival of Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) have once again proved insufficient.
PSG leave early and it becomes a habit: they have been eliminated in the round of 16 in five of the last seven editions.
A very meager booty for the "megaproject" which takes shape every summer at the Eiffel Tower (…) Another former PSG player (Choupo-Moting), as Coman had done in the first leg or in the 2020 final, was responsible for prolonging the Parisian curse in the Champions League

In England, the
Guardian
presses where it hurts and stings about the repetition of eliminations and the lessons never learned: “
They will, of course, continue to try.
A few more signings this summer, maybe a new coach, some adjustments to the project.
Certainly, Ligue 1 defenses can expect a whole new world of punishment next season.
And in a way, that's simply the mantra of modern Parisian Saint-Germain.
Always buy?
Always fail?
Nevermind.
Buy again.
Fail again.
Fail better.
Fail with the two greatest strikers in the world at your disposal
”.
On
CBS Sports
, Jamie Carragher laughs: "
I am delighted !
I have to be honest, I'm really happy with this elimination.
I don't like how this team is built.
Besides, for me, it's not even what you can call a team, it's just a waste.
They've spent more money than anyone, they've bought the best players in the world, and yet they've been knocked out of the Round of 16 five times in the last seven years.
And you know what ?
I think it's great, because it shows you what's most important in this sport: the team.
Of course, we love to see certain individuals play, but you can't shine without a real team.
And, honestly, PSG is not one of them.
It is for this reason that Kylian Mbappé must leave as soon as possible…
”
In Italy, the
Gazzetta dello Sport
completes, after the new “
disaster
”: “
It was useless to snatch the renewal from Mbappé, to get him out of the clutches of Real Madrid, to cover him with gold.
He must have been the man of providence, after the 0-1 in the first leg (…) Mbappe aims to win everything.
Even the Ballon d'Or.
Elimination will force him to think about his future in Paris.
" In Argentina,

title: "
The PSG again eliminated from the Champions League: the future of Messi questioned.
»
In Belgium, Le Soir concludes: “
On the outward journey, Paris only existed for about twenty minutes, when Mbappé entered the game;
at the Allianz Arena, it lasted half time, despite Mbappé, despite Messi, rather discreet – understatement – even in the best moments of the French.
Still undecided – and at the end of the contract – Messi may also have hailed the Champions League.
Definitely if he opts for Florida or a homecoming at Newell's Old Boys.
In any case, his dream, and by rebound that of Qatar, of winning the C1 with Paris will not have passed the winter.
As too often for PSG…
