The departure of Kylian Mbappé from PSG last summer is one of the reasons that the capital’s club raised the Champions League, according to Ralf Rangnick.
PSG finally holds it. After so many years to run after the first Champions League in its history, the Red and Blue reached their end on May 31 in Munich, where they atomized Inter Milan in the final (5-0). A coronation that rewards a well -oiled collective, made up of talented young players and no longer stars. This is the main reason for the success of Parisians, estimates Ralf Rangnick.
“” Do you know why PSG won the Champions League for the first time after spending so much money? They have been trying for 10 or 15 years, spending a lot. And now the big stars have gone. No more Kylian Mbappé, Messi or Neymar … and suddenly, they win the Champions League. Coincidence? No. It is for this reason “said the 66 -year -old Austrian technician on a daily basis
Sport.
And to continue: “ A good example is KVaratskhelia: they led 4-0, there were 20 minutes left, and he was still running over 60 meters to recover the ball. I have never seen that with Neymar, Messi or Mbappé. And that’s it, the strength of the collective. “”
Rangnick: “Barça and PSG will not have a rival”
After the departures of Neymar and Lionel Messi in 2023, it was Kylian Mbappé’s turn to leave the ship last summer. If the transfer of Bondy’s kid was not desired by the Ile -de -France management, which long sought to extend it, that of the Brazilian and the Argentinian was. Luis Enrique wanted to build a workforce based on the collective and youth. A bet that has been paid.
Thus, according to Ralf Rangnick, PSG can take a dream of dominating Europe for several years, like FC Barcelona. “” What would happen to Barcelona or Paris-Saint-Germain in the next two or three years if they manage to keep their workforce? If so, I don’t see any team capable of beating them in the years to come. Barça and PSG will not have a rival “Judged the former Manchester United coach.
