« PSG Heading for Trouble »: Jérôme Rothen Sounds the Alarm

Paris Saint-Germain suffered a disappointing defeat against AC Milan, losing 2-1 in the 4th match of the group stage of the Champions League 2023-2024 at the San Siro Stadium this Tuesday.

After the match, Jérôme Rothen, former PSG midfielder and current analyst, shared his impressions on RMC Sport.

« They are heading for trouble in away matches. We had a first test in Newcastle, a second test in Milan. So far, they can’t answer the big questions we have in terms of level, game, technique, tactics, physicality, and intensity.

When you face teams that bring a lot of tempo, volume, and intense duels to a match, which is common in big matches, you don’t step up. This PSG is heading for trouble, yes, but it’s up to them to progress. I expected answers from them based on the Newcastle match. The answers are simple; for now, some players are not at the level of the Champions League, in a tough match in a legendary stadium, against an opponent fired up and elevated. You’re not at the level. »
