There is a team in Ligue 1 who play glorious, free-flowing, attacking football. But it's not PSG.
PSG dominated the tie for 150 minutes before Benzema forced their latest capitulation, but their lack of inspiration during the first leg and a keenness to counterattack in the second underlined Pochettino’s shortcomings. Stéphane Moulin kept the club up for several seasons by playing pragmatic football but earlier this season it looked as if new coach Gérald Baticle had taken the team forward with a more dynamic style. Angers’ 1-0 defeat to Reims was their seventh in a row and their 10th in 12 games. In just a few short weeks, the hope that Ligue 1 sides would make some headway has morphed into the usual frustration. This week has summed up PSG under Pochettino. As the Bordeaux game again showed, their resources and deep squad allow them to breeze past many Ligue 1 sides, especially at home. That action proved simple but dramatic on Sunday. Throughout their team’s 3-0 win over a woeful Bordeaux, the crowd at the Parc des Princes roundly booed and whistled Messi and Neymar. As the two forwards stood over a free-kick in the first half, the din intensified and was followed by ironic cheers when Neymar fired over. This PSG team may not have turned out as expected, but French football has still got what it wanted, albeit from a different source. And striker Gaëtan Laborde’s clinical finishing, keenness to play off others and physicality adds the strength that teams as balletic as Rennes often lack. The Collectif Ultras Paris, a leading PSG fan group, has had enough. They may have the world’s most talented attacking trio, but the Mauricio Pochettino team is the least attractive PSG side of the Qatari era. The desperation with which PSG chase their European holy grail only makes Madrid’s comeback all the more embarrassing. Even with Messi onboard, a full-strength PSG – injuries have hindered them before – could not break the cycle.

The 23-year-old's current contract expires on June 30, 2022 and so far no headway has been made on a new deal.Mbappe told CNN at the end of December, just ahead of European football's January transfer window, that he would "100%" finish the season with PSG. However, he hasn't hidden his desire to move to pastures new -- specifically pastures in Madrid.When Real submitted a $188 million bid for Mbappe in August -- a deal that was close to being agreed -- the Frenchman admitted at the time that he wanted to leave PSG."I was honest," Mbappe said. We have to look to improve this team and maintain morale to play in Ligue 1 and to finish the season well. We share this disappointment with the supporters." One player who did manage to escape the booing was Kylian Mbappe.The striker, who was cheered throughout the match against Bordeaux, is the golden boy of French football and scored both of PSG's goals in the recent tie against Real Madrid. Despite the French club boasting both Messi and Neymar in its ranks, Mbappe is perhaps PSG's most prized asset.It will come as a significant concern, then, that there is the strong possibility of PSG losing Mbappe for free in the summer. Mauricio Pochettino has come in for criticism following the Real Madrid defeat.With 10 games left in Ligue 1 and holding a 15-point lead over second-place Marseille, PSG is almost certain to secure it's seventh French league title in eight season.Following the win over Bordeaux, Pochettino said he was "sad" to hear the booing from the crowd and insisted their anger was also felt within the squad."
