Over the years, PSG hasn’t had the best of luck in Europe. The Parisians haven’t won a Champions League trophy and have yet to get their hands on it.

And this year, they faced yet another major blow in their UCL campaign. The Ligue 1 side was eliminated in the Round of 16 by German side Bayern Munich. Goals from Choupo-Mouting and Serge Gnabry helped the Bundesliga giants clinch an emphatic 2-0 victory.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side won by an aggregate score of 3-0, thus booking their place in the quarterfinals. This was PSG’s 15th attempt to win the Champions League, including the previous 11 exits in a row.
The club had high hopes to secure the silverware this season, after having star players including Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe to their side.

Is this the end of the PSG trio?
Even after having such a talented squad, the club has failed to live up to their expectations. The club had bolstered its ranks with such additions in order to win the long-awaited trophy. Yet they failed to clinch the trophy, and it seems that after their European journey, another thing might also come to an end. Perhaps this was the last time we saw the star trio of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe in action.
With Neymar out for the rest of the season, fans will not be able to witness the powerful trio. Only Messi and Mbappe will be able to entertain the soccer world for the remaining season.

🚨| PSG wants to break up the MNM trio next season even if it has chosen not to assume it publicly, for the time being. Mbappé being untouchable, it is therefore Leo Messi or Neymar who should leave Paris this summer. 🇧🇷🇦🇷 [@RMCsport] pic.twitter.com/FTeSIV1IQ1

Moreover, with his early exit and constant injury records, Neymar’s future at PSG now lies quite uncertain. The club is looking for his potential suitors in order to offload the 31-year-old. Even if they fail to offload their No. 10, Messi may likely leave the club himself. The Argentine’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and is attracting interest from foreign leagues.
