5 Things we learned from the first day of the Champions League Group Stage

#3 Seven years later, and the PSG project is yet to truly kick off

Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C

PSG was taken over by QSI in 2011, with an aim to turn it into a domestic and continental super force much like Marina Abramović did with Chelsea.

Huge sums of money have been spent in the last seven years to achieve that aim, and while that of domestic dominance has largely been accomplished, it is in Europe where the club still struggles.

The club is still still yet to make it to the semi final of the UCL, and more shockingly fail to turn up when tested against the continent's best.

They were largely outplayed over two legs by Real Madrid last season, and once more struggled to impose themselves at Anfield against Liverpool.

World record signing Neymar set the globe abuzz following his record breaking transfer last summer, but he has largely failed to deliver in his role as PSG's messiah to UCL glory.

Despite over a billion pounds spent on player transfers, sadly PSG don't look any closer to winning the 'Big Ears' than they did in 2011.
