Ex-PSG Boss Divulge ‘Obsession’ With Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe & Neymar After Leaving French Giants on Sour Note

Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar are some of the finest talents in the soccer world, dominating headlines and match statistics. However, when a coach must manage these exceptional talents within the same team, it creates an intriguing challenge. Recent insights shared by former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boss Christophe Galtier bring to light his deep fascination with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe.

During the 2022-23 season, despite securing the Ligue 1 title, PSG faced an abrupt exit from the Champions League round of 16. Having Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe on their side added immense pressure. Regrettably, Coach Christophe Galtier, who had only taken the reins a summer ago, faced the consequences.

Galtier’s candid confession about Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar

During a recent interview, Galtier was questioned about his unique challenges while coaching a team comprising three high-profile stars. He replied, “When you become coach of Paris Saint-Germain and you have these three players, you only have one obsession, and that’s how I’m going to combine them, to make them perform well, for the sake of the team, the sake of the game, the sake of scoring goals and also giving people pleasure.“

Christophe Galtier’s words reflect the immense pressure that comes with handling such world-class talents. It’s not just about winning; it’s about creating a cohesive unit that can utilize the strengths of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe to achieve collective success. Galtier’s obsession was to find the right balance, a challenge that weighed heavily on him throughout the season.

However, Galtier’s departure from PSG wasn’t solely due to his star-studded team’s mediocre performances. Allegations of racism and anti-Muslim comments during his tenure at French club Nice cast a dark shadow over his coaching career. Authorities have initiated an investigation, and Galtier will stand trial in December.

With the French Manager no longer at the helm, the task of guiding PSG to glory falls to Luis Enrique. The challenges are evident as the French champions kick off their quest for the elusive Champions League trophy. Their opening game against Dortmund promises to be an actual test of Enrique’s abilities.

What lies ahead for PSG?

PSG finds themselves in a challenging group in the Champions League, featuring tough opponents like Dortmund, English side Newcastle United, and AC Milan of Italy. Surviving this group stage will be no small feat for the French champions as the competition heats up.

Moreover, PSG’s domestic performance under their new boss, Luis Enrique, has raised questions. With just eight points from their first five Ligue 1 games, it’s clear that the transition has not been seamless. PSG, a club with nine league titles, continues to chase the coveted Champions League trophy.

One question lingers as we reflect on Galtier’s ‘obsession’ with Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe. What lies ahead for these footballing giants? Can PSG find the right balance and bring home the coveted trophy.? What do you think? Let us know in the comments!!
