Paris Saint-Germain won’t be able to win the Champions League believes Jamie Carragher as they are ‘carrying the passengers’ in Lionel Messi, Neymar Junior, and Kylian Mbappe. Following a football match loss to Manchester City on Wednesday evening the French side is now forced to settle for runner-ups in group A.
“I just don’t believe teams can carry anybody now. Let’s say the four teams who I think one of them will win the Champions League – Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, or Bayern Munich – they do not carry one passenger in the team. They [PSG] are carrying three, they’ve got absolutely no chance of winning the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain, absolutely no chance,” the pundit Carragher stated, according to Metro reports.
“I get frustrated watching it because with Mbappe more than anybody. I can almost understand Messi to a certain extent, he’s 34, he has to save himself for certain moments, I still don’t think they can carry him, let’s not forget Barcelona haven’t won a Champions League for a long time. But Mbappe is 22, he should be sprinting back and getting back helping his teammates against a top team. This thing about walking around the pitch, it’s not for me.”
“When I see Mo Salah and Mane for Liverpool sprinting everywhere, I see De Bruyne, I see Mahrez, Raheem Sterling the same, Thomas Muller for Bayern Munich, Lewandowski. I just can’t accept, I don’t care how good they are, that they don’t work for the team. The days of carrying passengers are long gone.”
