The 1998 world champion, Emmanuel Petit, spoke about the credibility of the Paris Saint-Germain project, after studying the qualification for the qualifiers for the Champions League final.

As leader of the standings, Paris Saint-Germain will face AS Monaco this Friday at the Parc des Princes in the opening match of the 13th day of Ligue 1. But it is the next match against Newcastle, English club, next Tuesday which is even more crucial, as part of the 5th day of the group stage of the Champions League.

Having already suffered two defeats against Newcastle (1-4) and on the field of AC Milan (1-2), Kylian Mbappé’s teammates occupy second place in Group F, narrowly ahead of the Italias. This means that French children must fight to reach the final qualifications.

As the year 2023 draws to a close, the 2023 French champion plays an important card. During an interview with RMC Sport, Emmanuel Petit expresses his opinion on the ambitions of Paris Saint-Germain. This is the moment that the 1998 world champion chose to express his frustration. The former midfielder is now in Paris, no more time to waste.
