#4 Failure to live up to expectations
As mentioned before, expectations were high heading into the current campaign. It was meant to signal a fresh new start for PSG, a post Zlatan Ibrahimovic era at the club. It was meant to be more of a “team” as opposed to passing it to Zlatan for the goals.
Early season stutters stopped any immediate progression, and the start to their Champions League campaign was much more of the same. A 1-1 draw to Arsenal in a game they dominated should have been the warning signs. They’ve fallen well short of their targets and whilst they had Edinson Cavani to replace the goals scored by the Ibrahimovic, they didn’t have anyone else to chip in.
A lot more was expected from PSG this season, and one of the reasons they have been so disappointing this season is because they haven’t really gotten close to their own high standards.
