Paris Saint-Germain vs Manchester United: French media react to PSG’s historic defeat – ‘the club is cursed’
Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League exit at Manchester United’s hands has been branded ‘surreal’, ‘crazy’ and ‘unforgivable’ by the French media.Thomas Tuchel, the PSG manager, appears to be on borrowed time as his team squandered a 2-0 first-leg advantage against the Red Devils to be knocked out of Europe on the away goals rule.3

United somehow found a way past PSG and into the Champions League quarter-finals

United completed the most remarkable of comebacks to claim a 3-1 win at the Parc des Princes, with Marcus Rashford netting an injury-time penalty to send Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to the last eight after Romelu Lukaku’s earlier brace. And Le Parisien described PSG’s European exit as ‘unforgivable’ and said the club was ‘cursed’.Columnist Dominique Severac described the result as ‘an earthquake’ and ‘an industrial accident’ for PSG, writing in Le Parisien: “There was the ‘remontada’ (Barcelona’s comeback against PSG) in 2017, there is now the trauma of 2019, confirming the club is cursed.”

Severac added that United’s winner – a penalty awarded after a VAR intervention, was a ‘hellish cruelty, sending the capital club back to its demons, its mental fragility, its unlikely individual mistakes’.“If it had been written, nobody would believe it,” he added.“It exists and it’s completely crazy, surreal, crazy, unprecedented. Sad if we love PSG, incredible if we worship football, very ‘PSG’ if we follow PSG.3

Dominique Severac did not hold back in his piece

“With PSG, it’s often (the team’s) own fault, reminding the opponent that he does not have to push too hard to bring down this paper giant.”L’Equipe described the outcome as a ‘cataclysm’ for PSG, with Damien Degorre writing: “Who (is) to blame? Gianluigi Buffon, for not managing to hold a harmless strike from Marcus Rashford, while Manchester United did not exist in this match?3

L’Equipe mourned PSG’s defeat

“Kylian Mbappe, who had the ball at 2-2, alone against David De Gea, in the 84th minute? Thilo Kehrer, who had placed the same Lukaku and his team in orbit while the match had just started?“Thomas Tuchel, who gave the feeling of suffering the end of the match and to be satisfied with this sufficient defeat by a (single) goal until the beginnings of the additional time?”L’Equipe’s famously harsh player ratings were also critical of PSG, with goalkeeper Buffon handed a 2/10 and five of the French club’s players only rating one point higher.
